ABSTRACT
Moreover, folding polyhedral surfaces have a variety of uses. For example, Miura made use of one such surface in his design of maps and atlases [5] and Z. You made use of another such surface in his design of an expandable heart stent [4, 7]. In fact, such surfaces have also been found operating in nature. In a paper on leaf forms, H. Kobayashi and others [3] discussed how leaves of Carpinus Betulus and Fagus Sylvaticus deployed similarly to a polyhedral surface called Miura-ori [6].
