DESCRIPTION:Théo Jules\, ENS Paris\nGeometry and mechanics of origamis\, 
 by Théo Jules (ENS Paris)\n\nAbstract  Origamis are three-dimensional 
 structures obtained by folding a thin sheet following a pre-imprinted patt
 ern of creases. The infinite number of imaginable pattern make the potenti
 al for innovation only limited by our understanding of their mechanical pr
 operties. I will present our experimental study on the mechanical behavior
  of a single crease produced from a thin plastic sheet\, both in the limit
  of elastic deformation and beyond. I will also briefly discuss how to exp
 loit these observations in a more complex creases pattern\, named “Curve
 d accordion”\, which produces unique shapes that originate from the comp
 etition between elasticity and geometry.
