DESCRIPTION:Dr. Evgueni T. Filipov\, University of Illinois at Urbana Cham
 paign\nThin sheets folded into origami can create a rich variety of deploy
 able\, reconfigurable\, and mechanistically tunable three-dimensional stru
 ctures. This talk will introduce a unique origami tube structure that depl
 oys through a flexible mode\, yet is substantially stiffer for any other b
 ending or twisting deformation. Eigenvalue and structural analyses are use
 d to quantify the global stiffness and highlight interesting mechanical ch
 aracteristics of the origami systems. A variety of new structures and cell
 ular assemblages are explored by changing the cross-sections\, the three-d
 imensional layouts\, and the coupling orientations of the tubes. The deplo
 yable structures are suitable for various applications in robotics\, aeros
 pace\, and architecture. On a smaller scale\, assembling thin sheets into 
 cellular assemblages can create metamaterials that can be deployed\, stiff
 ened and tuned.\nDeployment and retraction of a ‘zipper-tube’ can be a
 chieved by actuating only at the right end of the structure and metamateri
 als with tunable stiffness.\nBio: Mr. Evgueni Filipov is an NSF Graduate F
 ellow and a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champa
 ign (UIUC). He received his M.S. from UIUC in 2012 and his B.S. from the R
 ensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2009. His doctoral thesis focuses on th
 e mechanics and analysis of origami-inspired systems created from thin she
 ets. His research interests include applying the principles of origami to 
 create metamaterials with adaptable multi-physical characteristics. He is 
 also involved in developing hinged folding structures with thickness for m
 edium and large-scale applications.
