Abstract

In recent years, the deployment and vibration suppression capabilities of spacecraft have become one of the prominent research topics. Considerable effort has been dedicated to studying the deployability and vibration suppression performance of origami structures. However, traditional origami types severely limit their application in aerospace engineering due to their unique deployment behavior. This study introduces a novel meta-structure with hybridization of Kresling origami and Yoshimura origami (MHKYO), designed to suppress low-frequency vibrations. The band structure and transmission rate of the proposed metastructure were studied to evaluate its vibration suppression performance. The adjustment of the bandgap of the metastructure was achieved through geometric parameter variation. Quasi-static compression experiments and transmission rate experiments were carried out, and the results obtained were almost consistent with those obtained by finite element methods. During the compression process, the origami metastructure exhibited quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) behavior. The influence of the metastructure's stiffness on the band structure was analyzed. It is also proved that the hybrid origami metastructure improves the vibration suppression performance of the traditional origami metastructure. This work proposes a new origami-inspired metastructure, providing a certain theoretical basis for the application of origami technology in aerospace engineering.
