Abstract

We discuss the dynamics of a relatively simple origami-inspired structure considering discrete and continuum models. The latter was derived as a certain limit of the discrete model. Here we analyze small in-plane deformations and related equations of infinitesimal motions. For both models, dispersion relations were derived and compared. The comparison of the dispersion relations showed that the continuum model can capture the behavior of origami structures, which can be helpful in the materials properties determination and nondestructive evaluation.
