Short summary
The mechanical behaviour of a creased thin strip under opposite-sense bending was investigated,revealing that a simple crease could significantly alter the overall mechanical behaviour of a thin strip. The influence of the geometrical parameters on the mechanical behaviour of the creased strip was studied. The deformation patterns of the thin strips from the finite element simulations were verified by physical models made from thin metal strips.
