Explosive rigidity percolation in kirigami
Gary P. T. Choi, Lucy Liu, L. Mahadevan
Controlling the connectivity and rigidity of kirigami, i.e. the process of cutting paper to deploy it into an articulated system, is critical in the manifestations of kirigami in a…
An additive framework for kirigami design
Levi H. Dudte, Gary P. T. Choi, Kaitlyn P. Becker +1
We present an additive approach for the inverse design of kirigami-based mechanical metamaterials by focusing on the empty (negative) spaces instead of the solid tiles. By consider…
Quasicrystal kirigami
Lucy Liu, Gary P. T. Choi, L. Mahadevan
Kirigami, the art of introducing cuts in thin sheets to enable articulation and deployment, has become an inspiration for a novel class of mechanical metamaterials with unusual pro…
Wallpaper group kirigami
Lucy Liu, Gary P. T. Choi, L. Mahadevan
Kirigami, the art of paper cutting, has become a paradigm for mechanical metamaterials in recent years. The basic building blocks of any kirigami structures are repetitive deployab…
Learning hydrodynamic equations for active matter from particle simulations and experiments
Rohit Supekar, Boya Song, Alasdair Hastewell +3
Recent advances in high-resolution imaging techniques and particle-based simulation methods have enabled the precise microscopic characterization of collective dynamics in various…
Compact reconfigurable kirigami
Gary P. T. Choi, Levi H. Dudte, L. Mahadevan
Kirigami involves cutting a flat, thin sheet that allows it to morph from a closed, compact configuration into an open deployed structure via coordinated rotations of the internal…
Control of connectivity and rigidity in prismatic assemblies
Gary P. T. Choi, Siheng Chen, L. Mahadevan
How can we manipulate the topological connectivity of a three-dimensional prismatic assembly to control the number of internal degrees of freedom and the number of connected compon…
An additive algorithm for origami design
Levi H. Dudte, Gary P. T. Choi, L. Mahadevan
Inspired by the allure of additive fabrication, we pose the problem of origami design from a new perspective: how can we grow a folded surface in three dimensions from a seed so th…
Deterministic and stochastic control of kirigami topology
Siheng Chen, Gary P. T. Choi, L. Mahadevan
Kirigami, the creative art of paper cutting, is a promising paradigm for mechanical metamaterials. However, to make kirigami-inspired structures a reality requires controlling the…
Self-excited motions of volatile drops on swellable sheets
Aditi Chakrabarti, Gary P. T. Choi, L. Mahadevan
When a volatile droplet is deposited on a floating swellable sheet, it becomes asymmetric, lobed and mobile. We describe and quantify this phenomena that involves nonequilibrium sw…
Programming shape using kirigami tessellations
Gary P. T. Choi, Levi H. Dudte, L. Mahadevan
Kirigami tessellations, regular planar patterns formed by cutting flat, thin sheets, have attracted recent scientific interest for their rich geometries, surprising material proper…
