  • Formation of plastic creases in thin polyimide films 
    Dharmadasa, BY; McCallum, MW; Mierunalan, S; Dassanayake, SP; Mallikarachchi, CHMY; Jiménez, FL [Article-Full-text]
    We present a combined experimental and analytical approach to study the formation of creases in tightly folded Kapton polyimide films. In the experiments, we have developed a robust procedure to create creases with repeatable ...
  • Simulation of ultra-thin membranes with creases 
    Mierunalan, S; Dassanayake, SP; Mallikarachchi, HMYC; Upadhyay, SH [Article-Full-text]
    Two dimensional nature of thin membranes has led to their evolution as an essential component in space structures that demand lighter mass and compact packaging. Origami based folding patterns are used to fold these membranes ...
