A nonlinear beam model for photoresponsive thermoelastic solids driven by localised heating
William T. Simpkins, Matteo Taffetani, Matthew G. Hennessy
Asymptotic methods are used to derive a geometrically nonlinear beam model for thermoelastic solids with a spatially localised heat source. The asymptotic reduction is based on col…
Nonlinear morphoelastic energy based theory for stimuli responsive elastic shells
Matteo Taffetani, Matteo Pezzulla
Large deformations play a central role in the shape transformations of slender active and biological structures. A classical example is the eversion of the Volvox embryo, which dem…
Snap-through time of arches is controlled by slenderness and imperfections
William Simpkins, Matthew G. Hennessy, Matteo Taffetani
Snap-through occurs in elastic structures when a stable equilibrium configuration becomes unstable, resulting in rapid motion towards a new and distinct stable state. While static…
Limitations of curvature--induced rigidity: How a curved strip buckles under gravity
Matteo Taffetani, Finn Box, Arthur Neveu +1
The preference of thin flat sheets to bend rather than stretch, combined with results from Geometry, mean that changes in a thin sheet's Gaussian curvature are prohibitively expens…
