Tension-Induced Soft Stress and Viscoelastic Bending in Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Enhanced Energy Dissipation
Beijun Shen, Yuefeng Jiang, Christopher M. Yakacki +2
Architected materials that exploit buckling instabilities to reversibly trap energy have been shown to be effective for impact protection. The energy-absorbing capabilities of thes…
Synergistic Energy Absorption Mechanisms of Architected Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Seung-Yeol Jeon, Beijun Shen, Nicholas A. Traugutt +5
Here, we report the rate-dependent energy absorption behavior of a liquid crystal elastomer (LCE)-based architected material consisting of repeating unit cells of bistable tilted L…
Bioinspired Materials with Self-Adaptable Mechanical Properties
Santiago Orrego, Zhezhi Chen, Urszula Krekora +6
Natural structural materials, such as bone and wood, can autonomously adapt their mechanical properties in response to loading to prevent failure. They smartly control the addition…
Harnessing Geometric Frustration to Form Band Gaps in Acoustic Channel Lattices
Pai Wang, Yue Zheng, Matheus C. Fernandes +6
We demonstrate both numerically and experimentally that geometric frustration in two-dimensional periodic acoustic networks consisting of arrays of narrow air channels can be harne…
