The diverse folding motion of the origami structures induces a series of extraordinary properties, which enriches their application prospects in engineering. In this paper, we propose a class of open-section origami tubes with multiple extraordinary mechanical properties, and explore their potential applications. First, three types of origami tubes with one degree of freedom are developed. Their motion patterns are studied through the kinematic analysis, which induces several extraordinary mechanical properties. The Poisson's ratio of the proposed structure undergoes multiple sign-flipping, wh...
