Origami8, Volume IV: Proceedings of the 8th International Meeting on Origami in Science, Mathematics

These four volumes of proceedings contain 126 papers contributed to the 8 th International Meeting on Origami Science, Mathematics and Education (8OSME), held on 16-18 July 2024 at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. The papers represent current work in different disciplines of origami and they are grouped into four subject themes, Volume 1 - Engineering I, Volume 2 - Engineering II, Volume 3 - Mathematics, Computation, History and Mental Health, and Volume 4 - Design and Education. We witness increasing interests in origami from researchers, practitioners and artists. Of a special note is the rapidly growing research in origami engineering, a distinctive field with fundamental concepts and applications related to space, mechanical, material, medical and structural engineering etc. Participants of 8OSME should find great passion and opportunity of collaborations across disciplines of origami. We hope these four volumes will inspire not just currently active researchers and artists, but also the next generation of origami scientists, mathematicians, engineers, designers, historians, and teachers.
