DESCRIPTION:A thin\, initially plane\, inextensible sheet can 
 be folded or creased along a general curve to form
  two concatenated developable surfaces. Theorems o
 f differential geometry can be used to calculate t
 he shape of a curved-line folded sheet by identify
 ing kinematic constraints between the pair of deve
 lopable surfaces. We revisit two special cases fro
 m literature\; one in which the fold curve remains
  planar and the other in which the fold angle is c
 onstant\, through practical experiments and finite
  element analysis in order to quantify and validat
 e the effectiveness of analytical approach based o
 n differential geometry. We then utilise different
 ial geometric approach to analyse a basic problem 
 of a circular disc with a single central circular 
 crease and compare to experimental and numerical r
 esults. Excellent correlations are obtained.\n
