Phonon controlled mechanical memory via pinning and depinning of transition waves
Samuele Ferracin, Dengge Jin, Vincent Tournat +1
Multistable mechanical metamaterials enable programmable transitions between discrete stable states through propagating kink transition waves (TWs). Yet controlling these kinks typ…
Effect of discreteness on domain wall stability in a plate coupled to a foundation of bistable elements
Dengge Jin, Samuele Ferracin, Vincent Tournat +1
Surfaces and structures capable of multiple stable configurations have attracted growing interest for on-demand shape morphing. In this work, we consider an elastic compliant plate…
Improving structural damage tolerance and fracture energy via bamboo-inspired void patterns
Xiaoheng Zhu, Jiakun Liu, Yucong Hua +2
Bamboo has a functionally-graded microstructure that endows it with a combination of desirable properties, such as high failure strain, high toughness, and a low density. As a resu…
Nucleation of transition waves via collisions of elastic vector solitons
Hiromi Yasuda, Hang Shu, Weijian Jiao +2
In this work, we show that collisions of one type of nonlinear wave can lead to generation of a different kind of nonlinear wave. Specifically, we demonstrate the formation of topo…
