Overview
This framework connects periodic crease patterns to the large-scale mechanical behavior of folded sheets. It combines folding simulation and numerical homogenization for straight and curved creases, exploring how pattern symmetry and geometry affect stretching and bending. Homogenized models are compared with detailed simulations and physical prototypes.
