Outline of Final Research Achievements |
[The purpose of this research was to apply a honeycomb taper structure by using origami to imitate the tire structure, to form a circle with a constant curvature and obtain the stable strength.The cross section of the honeycomb tapered structure is a regular hexagon, its cross section is similar but the area ratio is different, therefore the circle can be formed with a constant curvature for this reason. The feature of this research is that the joining surfaces of the cells are back-to-back connected, making it possible to design wheelchair wheeling structures in any arbitrary orders. Furthermore, the important opening part of angle α , it was proved to have a structure relationship of alpha = (2 + m) / (2 m) π, where m is the number of honeycomb taper cells to one wheel.
