Abstract
This study presents an explicit form of the static equilibrium equations of integrated origami and tensegrity systems. The analytical
approach allows one to model and analyze the isolated origami and tensegrity paradigms as a whole system. The tensegrity
and origami members are described by the nodal coordinates and hinge angels between the origami panels. The nonlinear static
equations of the integrated system are derived by the Lagrangian method. By Taylor’s expansion theory, we also presented its
linearized form. The developed approach is capable of conducting the following comprehensive statics studies for any integrated
origami and tensegrity systems: 1) Performing loading analysis, where bars and strings can have elastic or plastic deformations.
2) Conducting infinitesimal and large deformation analysis, which is helpful in understanding the stress in structural members and
actuation strategies. 3) Dealing with various kinds of boundary conditions, for example, fixing or applying static loads at any
nodes in any direction (i.e., gravitational force, some specified forces, or moments). 4) Conducting stiffness analysis, including
eigenvalues and their modes. Three examples, a Miura origami unit, an integrated tensegrity origami shelter, and a cable-driven
Kresling structure, are carefully selected and studied. This study provides a deep insight into structures, materials, as well as
performances. The integration idea also promotes our ability to design and build deployable structures at large.

have tunable negative Poisson’s ratio, structural bistability, and
self-locking properties [26, 27]. The cons are 1). The origami
structure is usually of low stiffness. One can add actuators or
lock mechanisms to increase the stiffness, but it requires more
effort. 2). The transient dynamics during the shaping morphing
are challenging to control. Actuating the origami’s hinges is
possible to solve the problem partially, but it would complicate
the design.
It is natural to ask the question: tensegrity or origami, which
is a more efficient structure paradigm? On one side, people hold
the idea that tensegrity is more fundamental. Many nature sys-
tems implement this technology, i.e., cells [28], elbows [29],
spider fibers [30], etc. On the other side, some people believe
that origami is better. There are also nature pieces of evidence
