Non-Local Impact of Link Failures in Linear Flow Networks
Julius Strake, Franz Kaiser, Farnaz Basiri +2
The failure of a single link can degrade the operation of a supply network up to the point of complete collapse. Yet, the interplay between network topology and locality of the res…
Optimal noise-canceling networks
Henrik Ronellenfitsch, Jörn Dunkel, Michael Wilczek
Natural and artificial networks, from the cerebral cortex to large-scale power grids, face the challenge of converting noisy inputs into robust signals. The input fluctuations ofte…
Autonomous actuation of zero modes in mechanical networks far from equilibrium
Francis G. Woodhouse, Henrik Ronellenfitsch, Jörn Dunkel
A zero mode, or floppy mode, is a non-trivial coupling of mechanical components yielding a degree of freedom with no resistance to deformation. Engineered zero modes have the poten…
The limits of multifunctionality in tunable networks
Jason W. Rocks, Henrik Ronellenfitsch, Andrea J. Liu +2
Nature is rife with networks that are functionally optimized to propagate inputs in order to perform specific tasks. Whether via genetic evolution or dynamic adaptation, many netwo…
Inverse Design of Discrete Mechanical Metamaterials
Henrik Ronellenfitsch, Norbert Stoop, Josephine Yu +2
Mechanical and phononic metamaterials exhibiting negative elastic moduli, gapped vibrational spectra, or topologically protected modes enable precise control of structural and acou…
