Quantum Computing for Solid Mechanics and Structural Engineering -- a Demonstration with Variational Quantum Eigensolver
Yunya Liu, Jiakun Liu, Jordan R. Raney +1
Variational quantum algorithms exploit the features of superposition and entanglement to optimize a cost function efficiently by manipulating the quantum states. They are suitable…
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…
Phase transitions in 2D multistable mechanical metamaterials via collisions of soliton-like pulses
Weijian Jiao, Hang Shu, Vincent Tournat +2
In this work, we report observations of phase transitions in 2D multistable mechanical metamaterials that are initiated by collisions of soliton-like pulses in the metamaterial. An…
Nonlinear waves in flexible mechanical metamaterials
Bolei Deng, Jordan R. Raney, Katia Bertoldi +1
Flexible mechanical metamaterials are compliant structures engineered to achieve unique properties via the large deformation of their components. While their static character has b…
