Most materials designed so far are based on the same four-vertex geometry, and little is known regarding how different geometries affect folding behavior. Here we systematically categorize and analyze the geometries and resulting folding motions of Euclidean four-vertices. Comparing the relative sizes of sector angles, we identify three types of generic vertices and two accompanying subtypes. We determine which folds can fully close and the possible mountain-valley assignments. Next, we consider what occurs when sector angles or sums thereof are set equal, which results in 16 special vertex types. One of these, flat-foldable vertices, has been studied extensively, but we show that a wide variety of qualitatively different folding motions exist for the other 15 special and 3 generic types. Our work establishes a straightforward set of rules for understanding the folding motion of both generic and special four-vertices and serves as a roadmap for designing origami metamaterials.","lang":"eng"}],"oa":1,"doi":"10.1103/PhysRevE.93.023003","title":"Origami building blocks: Generic and special four-vertices","external_id":{"arxiv":["1507.08442"]},"status":"public","issue":"2","oa_version":"Preprint","date_published":"2016-02-03T00:00:00Z","citation":{"apa":"Waitukaitis, S.
