| Summary:
Kirigami, the art of introducing cuts in thin sheets to enable articulation
and deployment, has become an inspiration for a novel class of mechanical
metamaterials with unusual properties. Here we complement the use of periodic
tiling patterns for kirigami designs by showing that quasicrystals can also
serve as the basis for designing deployable kirigami structures, and analyze
the geometrical, topological and mechanical properties of these aperiodic
kirigami structures.
