Abstract Origami-inspired mechanical systems are mostly composed of two-dimensional elements, a feature inherited from paper folding. However, do we have to comply with this restriction on our design space? Would it be more approachable to achieve desired performance by integrating elements of different abstract dimensions? In this paper, we propose an integrated structural system consisting of both two-dimensional and one-dimensional elements. We attach elastic strings onto an origami design to modify its mechanical behavior and create new features. We show that, by introducing elastic strings to the recently proposed Morph pattern, we can obtain bistable units with programmable energy landscape. The behavior of this integrated origami-string system can be described by an elegant formulation, which can be used to explore its rich programmability.

This paper proposes an improved variable-length beam element based on absolute nodal coordinate formulation and arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian description to build dynamic model of a one-dimensional medium with mass transportation and a non-ignorable torsion effect. The rotational angle of the presented element is interpolated using the same Hermite polynomials as the position vector such that the change rate of the rotational angles of the two nodes are also introduced into generalized coordinates of the element, which ensures the continuity of the nodal torque. Numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed element can precisely describe the dynamic behaviour of a one-dimensional medium. Furthermore, its ability to describe the torsion effect is significantly enhanced compared to earlier element in the literature. In engineering applications, the proposed element can be used in the dynamic analysis of drill stems in the drilling process, slender workpieces of cylinder shafts in turning processes and leading screws in ball screw mechanisms.

Abstract A new approach to numerical analysis of workspaces of multibody mechanical systems is developed. Numerical techniques that are based on manifold theory and utilize continuation methods are presented and applied to a variety of mechanical systems, including closed-loop mechanisms. Generalized coordinates that define kinematics of a system are classified and interpreted from an input-output point of view. Boundaries of workspaces, which depend on the classification of generalized coordinates, are defined as sets of singular points of Jacobians of the kinematic equations. Numerical methods for tracing one dimensional trajectories on a workspace boundary are outlined and example are analyzed using one dimensional manifold mapping computer programs, such as PITCON and AUTO.

In this paper, we will demonstrate that like the existence of a minimum measurable length, the existence of a maximum measurable momentum, also influence all quantum mechanical systems. Beyond the simple one-dimensional case, the existence of a maximum momentum will induce non-local corrections to the first quantized Hamiltonian. However, these non-local corrections can be effectively treated as local corrections by using the theory of harmonic extensions of functions. We will also analyze the second quantization of this deformed first quantized theory. Finally, we will analyze the gauge symmetry corresponding to this deformed theory.
