vouwingstraject
Vouwingstraject is a term used to describe the sequence of folding operations that a sheet or thin-walled structure undergoes as it transitions from a flat state to a three-dimensional form, or vice versa. The concept emphasizes the path of geometric transformations, including which crease lines are activated, how fold angles change, and how facet orientations evolve over time. It is commonly applied in fields that combine materials science, origami-inspired design, and deployable engineering.
In practice, a vouwingstraject is analyzed as a folding or unfolding process governed by a crease pattern
Applications of vouwingstraject concepts span deployable structures and devices, including solar arrays, antennas, emergency shelters, and
Challenges remain in ensuring smooth, controllable deployment, preventing self-intersection, and scaling trajectories to complex or multi-material
