Abstract
This paper applies the traditional kirigami technique to the non-rigid-foldable tubular origami, which provides a new method to convert the non-rigid foldability. Tubular Yoshimura and Kresling origami, as two typical non-rigid-foldable structures, are applied with the kirigami technique and presented. A radially closable origami (RC-ori) becomes a rigid-foldable kirigami (RC-kiri) when cutting the connected edges of every folding unit. The creases of RC-kiri are applied with outside LET joints, and the simulated model is constructed and analysed by Abaqus. The force-displacement relationship is obtained which shows two stages divided by the critical instability point. The FEA results are compared with the theoretical results, and its potential sources of errors are analysed. A physical model is made by 3D printing. The verification methods including dihedral angles, diameter-displacement curves, and force-displacement curves in outward folding configuration. Our study builds a bridge between origami and kirigami and expands the application of LET joints to the fabrication of tubular kirigami.
