  2. Folding endurance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding_endurance

    Folding endurance is especially applicable for papers used for maps, bank notes, archival documents, etc. The direction of the grain in relation to the folding line, the type of fibres used, the fibre contents, the calliper of the test piece, etc., as well as which type of folding tester that is used affect how many double folds a test piece ...

  3. Mathematics of paper folding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_paper_folding

    With each fold a certain amount of paper is lost to potential folding. The loss function for folding paper in half in a single direction was given to be L = π t 6 ( 2 n + 4 ) ( 2 n − 1 ) {\displaystyle L={\tfrac {\pi t}{6}}(2^{n}+4)(2^{n}-1)} , where L is the minimum length of the paper (or other material), t is the material's thickness, and ...

  4. Origamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origamics

    Origamics: Mathematical Explorations Through Paper Folding is a book on the mathematics of paper folding by Kazuo Haga [], a Japanese retired biology professor.It was edited and translated into English by Josefina C. Fonacier and Masami Isoda, based on material published in several Japanese-language books by Haga, and published in 2008 by World Scientific. [1]

  5. Kawasaki's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki's_theorem

    For rigid origami (a type of folding that keeps the surface flat except at its folds, suitable for hinged panels of rigid material rather than flexible paper), the condition of Kawasaki's theorem turns out to be sufficient for a single-vertex crease pattern to move from an unfolded state to a flat-folded state.

  6. Maekawa's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maekawa's_theorem

    Maekawa's theorem is a theorem in the mathematics of paper folding named after Jun Maekawa. It relates to flat-foldable origami crease patterns and states that at every vertex, the numbers of valley and mountain folds always differ by two in either direction. [1] The same result was also discovered by Jacques Justin [2] and, even earlier, by S ...

  7. Map folding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_folding

    In the mathematics of paper folding, map folding and stamp folding are two problems of counting the number of ways that a piece of paper can be folded. In the stamp folding problem, the paper is a strip of stamps with creases between them, and the folds must lie on the creases. In the map folding problem, the paper is a map, divided by creases ...

  8. Paper bag problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_bag_problem

    A cushion filled with stuffing. In geometry, the paper bag problem or teabag problem is to calculate the maximum possible inflated volume of an initially flat sealed rectangular bag which has the same shape as a cushion or pillow, made out of two pieces of material which can bend but not stretch.

  9. Fold number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_number

    Fold number refers to how many double folds that are required to cause rupture of a paper test piece under standardized conditions. Fold number is defined in ISO 5626:1993 as the antilogarithm of the mean folding endurance: [ 1 ]
