Temperature and Rate Dependent Constitutive Behaviors of Low Melt Field's Metal
Quang-Kha Nguyen, Fanghang Deng, Pu Zhang
Low melting point metals such as Field's metal and gallium are increasingly used as transition phases in stiffness-tuning soft materials and devices. Nevertheless, there is a knowl…
Multifunctional Liquid Metal Lattice Materials with Recoverable and Reconfigurable Behaviors
Fanghang Deng, Quang-Kha Nguyen, Pu Zhang
Multifunctional lattice materials are of great interest to modern engineering including aerospace, robotics, wave control, and sensing. In this work, we proposed and developed a ne…
Symmetry and Degeneracy of Phonon Modes for Periodic Structures with Glide Symmetry
Pu Zhang
A large class of phononic crystals and mechanical metamaterials exhibit glide symmetry that dictates their functionality or exceptional performance. The glide symmetry gives rise t…
Hyperelastic antiplane ground cloaking
Pu Zhang, William J. Parnell
Hyperelastic materials possess the appealing property that they may be employed as elastic wave manipulation devices and cloaks by imposing pre-deformation. They provide an alterna…
Band Gap Formation and Tunability in Stretchable Serpentine Interconnects
Pu Zhang, William J. Parnell
Serpentine interconnects are highly stretchable and frequently used in flexible electronic systems. In this work, we show that the undulating geometry of the serpentine interconnec…
Point Group Symmetry and Deformation Induced Symmetry Breaking of Superlattice Materials
Pu Zhang, Albert C. To
The point group symmetry of materials is closely related to their physical properties and quite important for material modeling. However, superlattice materials have more complex s…
Biomimetic Staggered Composites with Highly Enhanced Energy Dissipation: Design, Modeling, and Test
Pu Zhang, Mary A. Heyne, Albert C. To
We investigate the damping enhancement in a class of biomimetic staggered composites via a combination of design, modeling, and experiment. In total, three kinds of staggered compo…
