Parameter of slits within the kirigami model
Parameters of hinge parts in kirigami matrices
Von-Mises stress contours on a single hinge in FEA. Top to bottom: tension, compression, bending.
Final ABS and silicone matrices, differentiated by the number of grid units, the hinge travels into the adjacent panel. Across Row 1, Left to Right: 0 unit hinge, 1 unit hinge (on either side), 2 unit hinge (on either side). Bottom row: correspondin
FEA results of tension test (upper row) and compression test (lower row). Non-deformed models were also included in light gray, behind the false-color results.
Bending Test A and Stretching Test B
Post processing method for stretch test and compression test 
Stress Strain Curve of PLA Model From Stretch Test and compression test 
Process of embedding kirigami pattern onto a hyperbolic surface.
Physical prototype demonstrating that cuts and hinges allow the auxetic hyperbolic surface to be stretched and compressed to eliminate tolerance
