Leveraging yield buckling to achieve ideal shock absorbers
Wenfeng Liu, Shahram Janbaz, David Dykstra +2
The ideal shock absorber combines high stiffness with high energy absorption whilst retaining structural integrity after impact and is scalable for industrial production. So far no…
Inverse design of multishape metamaterials
David M. J. Dykstra, Corentin Coulais
Multishape metamaterials exhibit more than one target shape change, e.g. the same metamaterial can have either a positive or negative Poisson's ratio. So far, multishape metamateri…
Buckling Metamaterials for Extreme Vibration Damping
David M. J. Dykstra, Coen Lenting, Alexandre Masurier +1
Damping mechanical resonances is a formidable challenge in an increasing number of applications. Many of the passive damping methods rely on using low stiffness dissipative element…
