Identifying links between origami and compliant mechanisms [PDF]
Mechanical Sciences, 2011 Origami is the art of folding paper. In the context of engineering, orimimetics is the application of folding to solve problems. Kinetic origami behavior can be modeled with the pseudo-rigid-body model since the origami are compliant mechanisms.

Frustration propagation in tubular foldable mechanisms
Frontiers in Physics, 2023 Shell mechanisms are patterned surface-like structures with compliant deformation modes that allow them to change shape drastically. Examples include many origami and kirigami tessellations as well as other periodic truss mechanisms. The deployment paths

A modified pseudo-rigid-body modeling approach for compliant mechanisms with fixed-guided beam flexures [PDF]
Mechanical Sciences, 2017 In the present paper, we investigate a modified pseudo-rigid-body (MPRB) modeling approach for compliant mechanisms with fixed-guided beam flexures by considering the nonlinear effects of center-shifting and load-stiffening.

Mechanically compliant grating reflectors for optomechanics [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2012 We demonstrate micromechanical reflectors with a reflectivity as large as 99.4% and a mechanical quality factor Q as large as 7.8 × 105 for optomechanical applications. The reflectors are silicon nitride membranes patterned with sub-wavelength grating structures, obviating the need for the many dielectric layers used in conventional mirrors.
