Compliant morphing structures from twisted bulk metallic glass ribbons
Paolo Celli, Alice Lamaro, Connor McMahan +3
In this work, we investigate the use of pre-twisted metallic ribbons as building blocks for shape-changing structures. We manufacture these elements by twisting initially flat ribb…

Architected Lattices with Adaptive Energy Absorption
Yifan Wang, Brian Ramirez, Kalind Carpenter +3
Energy absorbing materials, like foams used in protective equipment, are able to undergo large deformations under low stresses, reducing the incoming stress wave below an injury or…

Temperature-induced shape morphing of bi-metallic structures
Semih Taniker, Paolo Celli, Damiano Pasini +2
In this work, we study the thermo-mechanical behavior of metallic structures designed to significantly change shape in response to thermal stimuli. This behavior is achieved by arr…
