As represented by Miura-ori, origami has inspired various types of deployable structures. Usually, these Origami structures are designed under the assumption of "rigid folding", which means each plane is undeformable and connected with ideal joints. In this study, a new strategy for designing deployable structures are proposed by using partially elastic origami models. These new origami structures take into account the elastic deformation. It enables us to estimate the elastic energy through folding and unfolding process and to design self-deploying origami structures.
