Corrugation allows making stronger and stiffer sheets and panels out of less material, at least in one direction. By corrugating in two directions, 90 degrees from each other, the grooves and ridges give additional strength to the cast or pressed glass, plastic, metal or cardboard.
This must have
been done earlier, but I haven’t seen it.

Maybe you could use tessellation folding to execute your idea. [robinism, Jan 14 2005]

Rutgers University has a patent pending on a machine to fold chevron corrugations. [robinism, Jan 14 2005]

It might be a pain in the arse to manufacture. |
|
| |
I believe you will give-up diagonal strength. |
|

[FJ] Corrugations give flexional rigidity against bending / folding at acute angles to the lines of corrugation, and make no difference to forces acting from the side (eg., its easy to roll up a sheet of corrugated iron sideways but impossible lengthways.) Putting another line of corrugations at right angles to the first might make the material like a block of chocalate - easy to break into little squares. |
|
| |
I still don't think that it could be made effectively... |
|
| |
[r] Nice links. I've done tessellation origami as a hobby without knowing it was called that. Rounded ridges and grooves should give some stability advantages. |
|
| |
[CF] I disagree. The material is equally thick; not at all like a chocolate block. |
|
| |
[DWH] I wouldn't think that embossing cardboard or molding plastic sheeting to be extraordinary. |
|

A folded version of this has been done successfully. Please see link "A continuous folding process for sheet materials" for details. |
|
| |
you could fold diagonally too but not as easily as widthways in your regular corrugated cardboard. |
|
| |
ato_de, in that case, use tridimensional corrugation. |
|
| |
Your sketch has ridges but no valleys. I assumed that was an oversight, so I pictured it with valleys. When you picture it with valleys, it looks more like the chevron-folded paper. |

Homeless or some future mobile society faction need origami, plastic hinged geodesic style panels that create a single person shelter but can be put together to form a large 'dome' for group meals or other functions. |

It seems to me that the idea proposed something akin to the little blue trays you get apples and stuff on at the super market... |
|
| |
These are molded/pressed as in the original idea ---what if we try folding instead... |
|
| |
If you try the following with a bit of paper it looks feasible but the x/y-corregation seems to remove all the strength...
- form x-corregations and remove them
- form y-corregates and remove them
- form x/y-corregations and remove them
- squeeze the material to form a bumpy surface
|
|
| |
I have to say that I have been unable to get the chevron pattern working. My x-corregations keep interfering with the z ones... |
|
| |
What about corregation of different magnitudes on each axis. In the absence of deformation in the sheet I am pretty sure that the size of possible x-corregations (lets say really small) will influence the frequencey (lets say very low) of possible y-corregations. |

True... a bit like a box of chocolates... c.f. FarmerJohn. |
