Abstract
In many origami-based applications, a device needs to be maintained in one or more fold states. The origami stability integration method (OSIM) presented in this paper provides an approach for graphically combining various techniques to achieve stability. Existing stability techniques are also categorized into four groups based on whether they are intrinsic or extrinsic to the origami pattern and whether they exhibit gradual or non-gradual energy storage behaviors. These categorizations can help designers select appropriate techniques for their application. The paper also contains design considerations and resources for achieving stability. Finally, two case studies are presented which use the OSIM and the technique categorization to conceptualize stability in origami-based devices.
