Stoicism is a philosophy that considers the object of life to be ataraxia (αταραξία), a state of psychological stability which is undisturbed by exposure to phenomena and circumstances that lie outside one's control. Though the current focus is on light sheds, this research can be applied to other folded designs that can potentially shift the paradigm in sustainable product design and development. Potential CNC technologies of cutting, scoring and etching sheet materials are further explored. Luminary hardware is fabricated at local sheet metal shops. Currently technical production processes for cutting sheet materials, as well as traditional hand folding, are used to produce the scale paper models and 1:1 scale prototypes for the works of Folded Light Art. In order to investigate such issues, this paper focuses on a case study of a lighting brand, Folded Light Art. A wide variety of durable conventional paper and technical paper materials that are appropriate for light sheds are compared and tested in terms of their material properties, functionalities and sustainability attributes. Geometric tessellated patterns that can produce flat-foldable and rigid-foldable designs are focused, and variations of these crease patterns are explored to generate a variety of folded designs that can be used toward light sheds. The goal of this paper is to systemically explore practical means of using mathematical and scientific origami in product design in order to seek innovative ways of form finding and making through the materiality of paper folding. From flat sheet material, folded designs can be easily deployed into a three-dimensional volume and then can be collapsed back to a two-dimensional flat shape that is much smaller, for ease of shipping and storage. In comparison to other fabrication techniques, folding or bending allows for complex and innovative structures formed with simple and low cost tools at the point of assembly. Finally base on the findings of the research, it was recommended that material modeling researchers should be given greater room to operate in order to aid the rapid emerging field of computational approach using software to material research, as this gives accurate and more reliable result. The result obtain shows that the physical properties of material can be model right from the microstructure level and also reveal that the physical and mechanical properties of material (steel) can be improved more easily through modeling. The basis for the modeling of the low carbon steel microstructure is the voronoi diagram (tessellation) generated by the MATLAB voronoi function. Voronoi belong to the category of function functions. These include Matrices and Linear Algebra, Polynomials and Interpolation, Differential Equations, functions, Data Analysis and Statistics, and Sparse Matrices. MATLAB provides many functions for performing mathematical operations and analyzing data. The major tool used for the modeling was the Voronoi function in MATLAB 2007b development environment. MATLAB is an interactive system and high-performance language for technical computing. The work will involved the analysis of three low and two medium carbon steels to obtain their microstructure and develop a MATLAB programme which will model these microstructure. Since material selection and design for durability rest upon our understanding of the phenomena occurring at the microstructural scale of the structural component. ABSTRACT This study seeks to develop a programme with MATLAB software that would be able to produce models of the microstructure of some carbon steels.
