Towards end-to-end optimization in multimaterial 3D printing
Xue-Ling Luo, Steven Yang, Jingye Tan +3
Multimaterial 3D printing enables the fabrication of functionally graded components, but optimizing their spatial material distribution alongside structural topology remains a form…
Stiffness by design in biological fibers: the influence of microstructure and temperature
Eli Yovel, Noy Cohen
Biological fibers exhibit exceptional mechanical properties such as high stiffness, toughness, and elasticity. The stiffness of bio-fibers is governed by a hierarchical microstruct…
Rethinking failure in polymer networks: a probabilistic view on progressive damage
Noy Cohen, Nikolaos Bouklas, Chung-Yuen Hui
The mechanics of single-chain stretching and rupture are central to understanding the resilience of biological polymers and designing strong and tough soft materials such as double…
Plasticity, hysteresis, and recovery mechanisms in spider silk fibers
Renata Olivé, José Pérez-Riguero, Noy Cohen
Spider silk is a remarkable biomaterial with exceptional stiffness, strength, and toughness stemming from a unique microstructure. While recent studies show that silk fibers exhibi…
Phase coexistence in thermo-responsive PNIPAM hydrogels triggered by mechanical forces
Noy Cohen
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) is a temperature-responsive polymer that undergoes large volumetric deformations through a transition from a swollen to a collapsed state at th…
Physics Augmented Machine Learning Discovery of Composition-Dependent Constitutive Laws for 3D Printed Digital Materials
Steven Yang, Michal Levin, Govinda Anantha Padmanabha +6
Multi-material 3D printing, particularly through polymer jetting, enables the fabrication of digital materials by mixing distinct photopolymers at the micron scale within a single…
Giant Superelastic Piezoelectricity in Flexible Ferroelectric Membranes
Hemaprabha Elangovan, Maya Barzilay, Sahar Seremi +4
Mechanical displacement in commonly used piezoelectric materials is typically restricted to linear or biaxial in nature and to a few percent of the material dimensions. Here, we sh…
Towards a physics-based modelling of the electro-mechanical coupling in EAPs
Noy Cohen, Andreas Menzel, Gal deBotton
Due to the increasing number of industrial applications of electro-active polymers (EAPs), there is a growing need for electromechanical models which accurately capture their behav…
