Ultralight and ultra-stiff nano-cardboard panels: mechanical analysis, characterization, and design principles
Jong-hyoung Kim, Lishuai Jin, Benjamin C. Schafer +4
We introduce a class of ultra-light and ultra-stiff sandwich panels designed for use in photophoretic levitation applications and investigate their mechanical behavior using both c…
Ultra-fast, programmable, and electronics-free soft robots enabled by snapping metacaps
Lishuai Jin, Yueying Yang, Bryan O. Torres Maldonado +4
Soft robots have a myriad of potentials because of their intrinsically compliant bodies, enabling safe interactions with humans and adaptability to unpredictable environments. Howe…
Soft mechanical metamaterials with transformable topology protected by stress caching
Jason Christopher Jolly, Binjie Jin, Lishuai Jin +6
Maxwell lattice metamaterials possess a rich phase space with distinct topological states featuring mechanically polarized edge behaviors and strongly asymmetric acoustic responses…
An experimental study of morphological formation in bilayered tubular structures driven by swelling/growth
Rui-Cheng Liu, Lishuai Jin, Zongxi Cai +1
This paper presents an experimental investigation on pattern formation and evolution in bilayered tubular organs using swelling deformation of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and aims…
