DESCRIPTION:Origami is the art of folding essentially two dimensional mate
 rials like paper into three dimensional objects. It has recently gained po
 pularity amongst scientists and engineers as the technique can be used to 
 create shape-changing structures. In the talk\, I shall briefly outline th
 e method for modelling origami and then focus on the creation of novel ori
 gami mechanisms. A number of examples will be given including a foldable s
 hopping bag\, a deployable grid structure and origami of thick panels. The
 se origami structures have wide engineering applications ranging from depl
 oyable aerospace structures to civilian shelters and military installation
 s.
