Origami is an ancient art of the paper folding that has been the source of inspiration in many engineering designs
due to its intrinsic ability of changing shape and volume. Self-expandable devices have been created based on
origami concept together with smart materials. Shape memory alloys belong to this class of materials and provide
high forces and large displacements by varying their temperature. This work deals with the nonlinear dynamics
of an origami-stent, a cylindrical shaped origami structure, which has the capacity of changing its radius. The
actuation is provided by antagonistic torsional shape memory alloy wires placed in the origami creases. The mathematical model assumes a polynomial constitutive model to describe the shape memory alloy thermomechanical
behavior. Geometric assumptions establish a one-degree of freedom model with constitutive and geometric nonlinearities. Numerical simulations are carried out considering different thermomechanical loadings that represent
operational conditions. The system presents complex responses including chaos.

1. Introduction
[12] also used a waterbomb origami pattern in an aerial drone employed
to landing in water. Salerno et al. [18] presented an SMA origami device
that takes advantage of geometric relations of the origami movements
to increase the maneuver capacity.
Origami system is a slender structure with complex geometry that
makes stability analysis an essential part of the design. Therefore, dynamical behavior of origami systems is an important issue to be investigated and only few works are available in literature. Basically, this
analysis combines geometric and constitutive nonlinearities, providing
a rich dynamics with operations close to the stability limits. In this regard, Fonseca et al. [5] presented a dynamical analysis of an origamiwheel with shape memory actuators. A single degree of freedom system
is employed as an archetypal model of the origami structure. Results
show a rich response, including chaos.
This work investigates the nonlinear dynamics of an origami-stent, a
self-expandable cylindrical origami being originally presented by Kuribayashi et al. [11]. The stent is usually employed as a tubular medical
device used to protect weakened arterial walls in the human body, but
it can also be applied to increase stiffness of several systems including pipes and oil drilling well. Basically, origami-stent has a cylindrical
shape and the folds allow the change of its radius (Fig. 1).
A shape memory alloy origami-stent system is analyzed considering
torsion SMA wires (TSW) as actuators. A polynomial constitutive model
describes thermomechanical behavior of SMAs. Origami geometric relations are employed to propose a one-degree of freedom (1-DOF) system
Origami, the art of the paper folding, has been inspiring many innovative designs of engineering systems. This Japanese art creates a
three-dimensional geometry by following a sequence of folds in a sheet
of paper. Some of these sequences creates a geometry able to contractexpand itself with an expressive change in its shape. Such behavior is of
great interest to self-expanding adaptive systems.
The capacity of compacting structures, the lightness and the ability
to present synchronized movements is of special interest of aerospace,
robotic and medical applications [4,16]. In aerospace applications, the
need and transportation restrictions motivate the use of packed configurations and, once arrived at the desired place, be deployed to the
expanded configuration. Miura [15] developed a foldable solar panel
based on origami concept. In medical applications, origami has inspired
the design of new medical apparatus especially dedicated to minimally
invasive surgery.
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are widely employed as actuators due
to their capacity of generate high forces and large displacements when
subjected to thermomechanical fields that yield phase transformations.
The association of SMA actuators with origami structures is promising
being the focus of some research efforts [7,8,17]. Lee et al. [13] developed an origami-wheel actuated by SMA connected to a bias linear
spring, being able to alter its radius in a robotic vehicle. The waterbomb pattern is employed for the origami design as employed on several
applications since it allows significant shape changes [6,14]. Le et al.

angle. It is noticeable that � < 90° characterizes the first stage while �
> 90° characterizes the second stage.
On the first stage, � can be expressed by considering the positions of
the points A and B on the (x,y,z) system with origin on C: A = (L2 sin(�),0,
L2 cos(�)) and B = (L2 , Lsin(�), Lcos(�)). Since the distance AB is equal
to L, the following equation can be written:

cos �0 = cos �0 sin (�) + sin �0 cos (�) cos (�)

that represents the system dynamics. Numerical simulations are carried
out showing rich responses due to situations related to different thermomechanical operational excitations.
After this introduction, this paper is organized as follows. Initially,
a geometric analysis is performed, establishing geometric relations and
the kinematics of the origami system. Dynamical model is then proposed
considering a single-degree of freedom system. Afterward, numerical
simulations are discussed considering different thermal and thermomechanical loadings. Concluding remarks are presented in the sequence.

In order to analyze the angle � on the first stage, consider the triangle
Ap Bp C (Fig. 4). Since Ap C = L2 cos(�) and Dp C = Lcos(�), it is possible to
write Ap Dp = L2 cos(�) − Lcos(�). On the other hand, AD = Lcos(�) and,
since the angle ∠ADDp = �, the distance Ap Dp = Lcos(�)sin(�). Therefore, the following relation is written for the first stage:

2. Geometric analysis
The origami-stent is a self-expandable cylindrical origami constructed by following the folding pattern showed in Fig. 2-a, where the
continuous lines mean mountain folds (folds outwards the paper plane)
and the dashed lines mean valley folds (folds inwards the paper plane).
This pattern is composed by the repetition of rectangular components
as showed in Fig. 2-b, which is known as waterbomb base, shifted half
an element in comparison with those on their side. The rectangular element has a length L and an angle � 0 , and therefore, L2 = L/tan(� 0 ) and
� 0 = 45° means it is a square element. A single waterbomb base folded
is presented in Fig. 2-c.
Geometric relations are now in focus and some hypotheses are established for this aim. The first one is the symmetry, assuming that all
elements behave in the same way and the element itself behaves symmetrically. Under this assumption, one-quarter of the cell element is
representative of the general cell behavior. The second assumption is
that fold occurs only in the creases and therefore, the element facets
remain straight. Under these assumptions, it is possible to analyze the
whole origami from a single cell element.
The deployment of the origami goes through two stages [10]. On the
first stage, the element unfolds until it reaches a flattened configuration
and the nodes A, C and A2 are co-linear. On the second stage, the crease
AA2 moves outwards in the radial direction (Fig. 3).
The cell element geometry is characterized by three angles: �, � and
�. These angles are coupled in such a way that each one can be described
as a function of the others. Hence, it is possible to elect � as the basic
In order to obtain a function of � that depends only of �, the
angle � in Eq. (4) is substituted by Eq. (3) and it is found that
� = acos(cos (�)) = �.
On the second stage, Fig. 3 shows that the angle � remains constant, being equal to 90°. This can be also pointed out by considering
the second term on the left side of Eq. (2). Besides, since both facets that
contains the crease BC remains on the same plane, � = 180° − �.
An analysis of the origami-stent radii is now of concern. Let O be
the central point of the origami-stent. Fig. 5 shows two radii that define
origami geometry: an internal radius, Ri , defined as OC; and an external
radius, Re , defined as OBp . The angle �, defined as ∠Ap OBp , is related
to the number of cell elements circumferentially distributed, n, and by
the hypotheses already assumed, it is equal to all elements. Therefore,
this angle is such that n(2�) = 360°. Hence:
� = 180◦ ∕�
(5)
Reminding that � is the angle ∠Ap CBp , it is possible to see from
Fig. 5 that Re sin(�) = Lsin(�) and Re cos (�) = Ri + Lcos(�), furnishing
the following relations:
�� =
�sin(�)
sin(�)

Based on the geometric relations of the origami-stent, Fig. 6 illustrates the general behavior of an origami with square elements
(� 0 = 45°). Fig. 6-a shows the evolution of the angles � and � as a function of the angle �. Note that at � = 90°, both angles (� and �) have
a transition configuration between the different stages. Fig. 6-b shows
internal and external radii divided by the length L for different values
of n (the number of elements circumferentially distributed). Besides the
limit angles, � min and � max , the number n influences the radius maximum values. The maximum value of the external radius Re occurs at
� = 90°. Fig. 6-b also shows the degree of compactness of the structure.
For n = 6, Re can double its size, while for n = 10, Re can triplicate its
size. Hence, the greater is the value of elements n, the more compact
the origami is able to be. Nevertheless, the increase of the number of
elements makes harder the origami manufacturing process.

2.1. Kinematic analysis
�� =
�sin(�)
− �cos(�)
tan(�)
Kinematics of the origami-stent system is now treated. Due to symmetry assumptions, it is possible to analyze one-quarter of the cell element. A global coordinate frame F(OXYZ) is placed on the center axis
of the origami-stent with origin on O (see Fig. 5). A local coordinate
frame P(Cxyz) is placed due to a translation from O to C (see Fig. 5).
Hence, the coordinate frame P is translated from the coordinate frame
F through Z direction of a distance equal to OC, that is, Ri .
Basically, kinematic analysis corresponds to two triangles which
movements are geometrically coupled to each other. It is assumed that
each one of these triangles rotates presenting inertia. The triangle BBp C
rotates of an angle � while the triangle ABC rotates of an angle � and
then of an angle � (see Fig. 4). Besides that, translation motion associated with each triangle has a lumped mass placed in its centroid: m1 on
the centroid of the triangle ABC and m2 on the centroid of the triangle
BBp C.

The origami has physical limitations that can be expressed as follows: the radius Ri cannot be less than zero, which means that the
structure does not penetrate itself; Ri cannot be greater than Re , which
means that the mountain AC does not become a valley avoiding a
fold in another direction that would result in the structure collapse.
Hence, Ri = 0 implies that tan (�) = tan (�) and Ri = Re implies that
tan (�) = sin (�)/(cos (�) − 1). These restrictions can be written by the
definition of limit angles, � min and � max :
�min = �
�max =

Fig. 7. Coordinate frames defined on the origami-stent single element.
Therefore, five coordinate frames are considered: F and P; Q, R
and S. The coordinate frames Q, R and S have origin on C, presenting movements related to each geometric angle, �, � and �, respectively (Fig. 7). The triangle ABC rotates about � and, then, rotates about
�. Q(Cx(1) y(1) z(1) ) rotates about � in the x(1) -axis direction of P while
R(Cx(2) y(2) z(2) ) rotates about � in the z(2) -axis direction of Q. The triangle BBp C rotates �. S(Cx(3) y(3) z(3) ) rotates about � on the y(3) -axis of P.
Since the coordinate frame P does not rotates about the global coordinate frame F (it only translates), the rotation matrices are the following:

Aguiar et al. [1] and Enemark et al. [2] showed that helical
spring force-displacement-temperature curve is similar to the stressstrain-temperature curve assuming homogeneous phase transformation through the spring element. Under this assumption, it is possible to use the same argues to define an torsional actuator torquedisplacement-temperature relation that is formally similar to the stressstrain-temperature:

where � I is the angle where the TSW is free of stress. Note that this
expression represents constitutive relation of both actuators, being expressed by MTSW 1 and MTSW 2 .
On the origami-stent system, the generalized forces Q� are related to
the TSW generalized force MSMA , which due to symmetric considerations
is given by: MSMA = (MTSW 1 + MTSW 2 )/2. An external generalized force

3. Dynamical model
The dynamical analysis of the origami-stent system assumes kinematic relations in order to write an equivalent 1-DOF system to represent the origami dynamics. Equations of motion are formulated by
considering energetic approach, electing angle � as a generalized coordinate. Using the transformation matrices to describe all terms in the
system F, the kinetic energy E is given by:

as function of � for a unitary velocity (�̇ = 1/s). It should be pointed
out that the energy is a nonsmooth function at � = 90° due to changes
of the angles � and � (see Fig. 6).
The actuation of the origami-stent is provided by a Torsion SMA Wire
(TSW) with length LS and radius rS [9]. Two TSWs are antagonistically
placed on each side of a cell element on the crease AC (Fig. 10) and these
actuators promote the origami configuration changes (opening and closing).
The SMA thermomechanical behavior is described by a polynomial
constitutive model [3,19] that establishes a stress-strain-temperature
(� − � − T) relation. This constitutive model considers that the austenitic
The kinetic energy (23) is a nonlinear expression in � multiplied by
the velocity and can be written as � = � (�)�̇ 2 . Details about this function
are presented in Appendix. Substituting this expression in the left hand
side of Lagrange’s Eq. (28), it gives a term �1 (�)�̈ and a term �2 (�)�̇ 2 (see
Appendix for more details). Therefore, the equation of motion is written

4. Numerical simulations
Dynamical behavior of the origami-stent system actuated by two antagonistic TSWs is now analyzed. Numerical simulations are carried out
by employing the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. Different thermal
and thermomechanical loads are contemplated to study the system behavior under distinct operational conditions.
Table 1 presents the origami-stent parameters employed in all simulations considering a square element. Besides, a dissipation coefficient
� = 0.3 is employed. Under these conditions, the reference frequency is
�REF = 62.09 rad/s. Temperature T0 represents a reference temperature
where the origami-stent actuator does not apply any moment at a chosen angle of � = 30° (closed configuration). Thereby, one actuator has
� I = 30° The other one has � I = 90° since this assures that the origami can
reach the opened configuration of maximum radius (� = 90°) by changing the TSW temperature. This set of parameters can represent a human
body stent. Note that the length L of the cell element is 6.6 mm. Hence,
for n = 6, the external radius Re = 13.2 mm for � = 90° (Eq. (6)), which
is close to the usual radius of aortal stent grafts.
Fig. 12 presents the torque of the TSWs as a function of � at the
temperature T0 and at T = 310K (T > TA ). TSW-1 is located at � I = 90°
with a temperature T1 while TSW-2 is at � I = 30° with a temperature T2 .

the moments vanishes at three angles: 30°, 60° and 90° If the temperature T1 is greater than TA (T1 = 310 K) while T2 = T0 , only 30° is an
equilibrium point (Fig. 13-b). On the other hand, if the temperature T2
is greater than TA (T2 = 310 K) while T1 = T0 , only 90° is an equilibrium
point (Fig. 13-c). If the temperatures of both TSWs are greater than TA
(T1 = T2 = 310 K), there are again three points where the sum of the moments is zero (Fig. 13-d). Therefore, by controlling the temperature one
can establish the configuration (opened or closed) of the origami-stent,
defining the equilibrium point structure.
Free vibration analysis is now of concern identifying the temperature
influence. Figs. 14 and 15 present the dynamical behavior of the system
for different initial conditions and temperatures. The temperature of one
actuator is modified while the other remains constant at the reference
temperature. Fig. 14 presents the phase space at different temperatures
for the TSW-1 while TSW-2 temperature is T0 . The sum of the moments
points up to three equilibrium points at T1 = T0 , and the phase space

4.1. Thermal loadings
The actuator temperature influence on the system dynamical response is investigated considering different thermal loadings. An
overview of the origami-stent equilibrium configurations can be provided by the analysis of the moments represented by HM (Eq. (34)).
Fig. 13 presents these moments for different pairs of temperatures and
n = 6. In the reference configuration (Fig. 13-a), T1 = T2 = T0 , the sum of

shows that two of them are stable while the other one is unstable. By
increasing the temperature T1 (T1 = 306 K), 30° remains a stable equilibrium point while the other stable equilibrium point is, now, smaller
than 90° When T1 > TA (T1 = 310 K), only 30° is an equilibrium point,
meaning that the structure admits only the closed configuration.
Fig. 15 presents the phase space at different temperatures for the
TSW-2 while the temperature of the TSW-1 is T0 . By increasing the temperature T2 (T2 = 306 K), 90° remains a stable equilibrium point while
the other stable equilibrium point is now, greater than 30° When T2 > TA
(T2 = 310 K), only 90° is an equilibrium point, and the structure only
admits an opened configuration. It is important to highlight that the
origami-stent is initially in a reference configuration where the structure is closed (� = 30°). The opened configuration can be reached either
by temperature variation or by imposing proper initial conditions, as
one can see in Fig. 15-a (or Fig. 14-a). This reveals an initial condition
dependence that is now investigated using different thermal loads.
From the reference condition, when temperature T2 increases up to
310 K, the origami-stent opens (Fig. 16). System response presents an
oscillation before reaching � = 90° If the temperature T2 decreases to
T0 again, the origami-stent remains in the opened configuration. By in310

creasing temperature T1 , 90° is not an equilibrium point anymore and
the origami-stent closes. By decreasing T1 to T0 , the structure remains
closed.
A different thermal loading is now investigated. By increasing T2 up
to 310 K and subsequently increasing T1 up to 310 K (Fig. 17), the structure remains opened but not completely, since the equilibrium point is
around 82° By decreasing the temperature T2 , the origami-stent closes
and by decreasing T1 there is no more changes.
In contrast, if T1 is first increased (Fig. 18), there is no structure
change. By increasing T2 subsequently, there is a small increase of the
angle � and it stabilizes around 38° If T1 decreases, the stent-origami
opens and, subsequently, if T2 decreases, it remains opened.
Equilibrium configuration small increase can be obtained increasing
both temperatures T1 and T2 simultaneously as presented in Fig. 19.
Note that the angle � is changed to 38°
Until now, all simulations consider the same number of elements,
n = 6. The change of the number of elements can influence the dynamical response, which is now investigated. The first point that should be
observed is that when n changes, the limit angles change; both � min
and � max tend to reduce for greater values of n. For n = 6, � min = 30°
and � max = 105° For n > 6, � min < 30° and the origami is not completely closed at the reference condition and � max < 105° Besides that,
Fig. 9 shows that the amount of kinetic energy is larger for greatest values of n. Fig. 20 presents the origami response when temperature T2 increases from the reference condition causing the opening of the origami.
Different values of n are treated. Although the actuation response occurs
at the same time, the stabilization takes more time to occur for origami
with larger number of elements due to the greater amount of kinetic
energy.
Since the origami system has strong temperature dependent behavior, it is important to evaluate the effect of thermal oscillations on system
response. Figs. 21–23 present the influence of thermal oscillations on
temperatures T1 and T2 considering n = 6. Fig. 21 presents the opening
process changing temperature T2 . Afterward, both temperatures oscillate at the opened configuration. A variation of temperature T2 does not
alter the response, but a variation of the temperature T1 causes small
oscillations. The TSW-2 is at a high temperature and 90° is a free-stress
point (see Fig. 12) that does not change with the thermal variation.
Based on that, the sum of system moments is not altered and, therefore,
its equilibrium point does not change. However, the TSW-1 is at the ref-

erence temperature and thermal fluctuation alters the free-stress points,
except the one at 30° Hence, the sum of the moments is altered and its
equilibrium point oscillates while the temperature T1 oscillates.
Fig. 22 shows a similar opening condition but with a situation where
both T1 and T2 are increased. Under this assumption, a variation of
temperature T2 also induces oscillations and the origami response is a
combination of both influences. Since both actuators have T > TA , a
variation of any actuator temperature is responsible to alter the sum of
the moments of the system and, as a consequence, there is an oscillatory response. Besides, frequency thermal frequency phase is analyzed.
It is noticeable that when actuator thermal variation is out of phase, the
oscillatory response has higher amplitude.

tion, the magnitude of the external force is compatible to the human
body blood pressure. Hence, the dimensionless amplitude � of the external force Dext is in a range from 0.01 to 0.85, which is related to force
of magnitude 10 − 3 N.
Initially, a global analysis is performed considering bifurcation diagrams that present a stroboscopic view of system dynamics under the
slow quasi-static variation of parameter � for Ω = 0.30 and different
number of elements: n = 6; n = 8; n = 10 (Fig. 25). Fig. 25-a considers
n = 6. Note that, for small force amplitudes, the system presents period1 response until � = 0.143. After that, a cloud of points suggests a chaotic
response. By increasing the value of �, the diagram shows other regions where the system response has a periodicity greater than 1. When
� = 0.156, bifurcations start from chaotic-like response to period-1 response. A period doubling can be noticed at � = 0.260, nevertheless a
period-1 response is predominant until � = 0.628, where the system response becomes chaotic. Inside this chaotic region, there are some periodic windows, especially between � = 0.740 and � = 0.781.
By considering different number of elements, n = 8 (Fig. 25-b) and
n = 10 (Fig. 25-c), it is noticeable that the increase of the number of
elements tends to stretch the diagram and spread the kind of behavior
over the values of �. Note, for instance, that period-1 response for small
Fig. 23 presents a situation where both actuators have T < TA , characterizing a closed configuration. Under this condition, only the variation
of T2 affects the dynamic response. In contrast of the case of Fig. 21,
small fluctuation of T1 does not alter actuator dynamical response since
30° is an actuator free-stress point (see Fig. 12) that does not change
with a thermal variation. On the other hand, TSW-2 has 90° as a freestress point that does not change, while the other points change with
the temperature and, hence, thermal fluctuation changes the sum of the
moments, affecting the system equilibrium point.
The influence of the number of elements in a case with thermal fluctuation is presented in Fig. 24. Note that the increase of the number of
elements, n, tends to cause a greater change on system response.
4.2. Thermomechanical loadings
Thermomechanical loadings are now addressed in order to simulate
some operational conditions of the origami-stent. Basically, opened configuration is of concern considering T1 = T0 and T2 = 310 K. Under this
condition, only 90° is an equilibrium point and an external force is applied. In order to establish a physical interpretation, the origami-stent
system is assumed to represent human body stent. Under this assump313

amplitudes of the force finishes at � = 0.143 when n = 6 but at � = 0.157
when n = 8 and at � = 0.308 when n = 10. After the region of period-1
response, different bifurcation evolutions occur for each cell number.
When n = 6, the cloud of points occurred immediately after the period-1
response. When n = 8, a period doubling takes place until the system response is quasi-periodic and then, the cloud of points takes place. When
n = 10, a period doubling occurs then the cloud of points takes place.
Subsequently, a periodic response window is noticed until there is a
response sudden change suggesting a chaotic response. Afterward, a bifurcation from chaos to period-1 occurs.
Phase space and its respective Poincaré section are presented in

quasi-periodic response for n = 8 and, even if the system still oscillates
around 90°, the upper physical limit is reached. In contrast, for n = 10,
this increase of � does not affect the system response substantially. On
the other hand, when � = 0.36, the system response is periodic for n = 8,
but chaotic for n = 10. When � = 0.70, a period-1 response is noticed.

mooth characteristics. Numerical simulations are carried out showing
different thermomechanical loading situations representing operational
conditions. Concerning thermal loadings, it is possible to identify that
different configurations can be reached by changing the temperature of
each actuator. Results are affected by the order of actuation. Moreover,
thermal fluctuations can affect the system response depending on conditions. It depends on either the origami configuration or the actuator
temperature. The number of cell elements interferes on the response stabilization time as well. An origami with more cell elements takes more
time to stabilize, being more affected by thermal fluctuations. Thermomechanical loadings can produce complex responses including chaos.
The number of cell elements is critical in order to define the system
response. In general, the increase of the number of cell elements reduces chaotic regions. Furthermore, greater values of external force are
needed to push the origami to reach its physical limits. Dynamical jumps
are also observed on origami-stent dynamics.

Resonant condition is usually critical to system response. Concerning chaotic behavior, they can be induced more effectively close to this
condition. In this regard, Fig. 29 presents the maximum amplitude of
displacement under the variation of frequency Ω. For n = 6 (Fig. 29a), it presents a typical resonant curve with maximum amplitude at
Ω = 0.159. It is also noticeable a small peak at Ω = 0.085, related to
constitutive nonlinearities. For n = 8 and n = 10, the peaks of maximum
angle is shifted to the left and the flat region related to the maximum
values is due to the maximum displacement constraints imposed by the
origami physical limits. Besides, the smaller peak is more pronounceable. Furthermore, Fig. 29-d presents a zoom in Fig. 29-c where dynamical jumps for different frequencies are observed.
Fig. 30 shows the bifurcation diagram for n = 6 varying � under resonant condition (Ω = 0.16). Note that system response is predominantly
chaotic indicating the influence of the resonant condition on system dynamics. Phase space and Poincaré section is presented in Fig. 31 for
Ω = 0.16 and � = 0.20. A chaotic-like response is observed presenting a
strange attractor in Poincaré section.
