ORIGAMI - Folded Plate Structures, Engineering

2008
Conference Papers

Abstract

In conjunction with Hans-Ulrich Buri’s research, this thesis project addresses the engineering part of the folded Origami structures. The material employed for this type of structure is not necessarily defined. Therefore metal, concrete and timber realisations are widely spread. A relatively new product on the market of derived timber products is cross glued timber panels. This project employs this material to design the folded structures. The main goal is to determine appropriate details for the folded joints and establish a static model to calculate real scale structures. Therefore experiments with specially developed joints are tested in the laboratory to enter the results obtained into the numerical static model.

Protein structure

Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid-chain molecule. Proteins are polymers - specifically polypeptides - formed from sequences of amino acids, which are the monomers of the polymer. A single amino acid monomer may also be called a residue, which indicates a repeating unit of a polymer. Proteins form by amino acids undergoing condensation reactions, in which the amino acids lose one water molecule per reaction in order to attach to one another with a peptide bond.

Protein tertiary structure

Protein tertiary structure is the three dimensional shape of a protein. The tertiary structure will have a single polypeptide chain "backbone" with one or more protein secondary structures, the protein domains. Amino acid side chains may interact and bond in a number of ways. The interactions and bonds of side chains within a particular protein determine its tertiary structure. The protein tertiary structure is defined by its atomic coordinates. These coordinates may refer either to a protein domain or to the entire tertiary structure.

Protein folding

Protein folding is the physical process where a protein chain is translated into its native three-dimensional structure, typically a "folded" conformation, by which the protein becomes biologically functional. Via an expeditious and reproducible process, a polypeptide folds into its characteristic three-dimensional structure from a random coil. Each protein exists first as an unfolded polypeptide or random coil after being translated from a sequence of mRNA into a linear chain of amino acids.
