Spatiotemporal Disk Packing for Directed Growth of Complex Geometries
Yigit Hergul, Yun Seong Kim, Rohan Shah +2
Growing complex shapes requires control over both where growth begins and how it evolves in time. Here, we introduce a geometric framework for growing prescribed 2D shapes using a…
Basin-volume distributions in monodisperse particle packings -- the soul of memory
Varda F. Hagh, Zhaoning Liu, Sidney R. Nagel
Mechanically stable packings of particles in dimensions lie at the minima of an -dimensional potential energy landscape. Starting from random initial particle positions…
Local Rules for Directing the Emergence of Global Properties in Complex Structures
Andrew Slezak, Varda F. Hagh
From ants to caterpillars, many biological systems composed of simple builders have been observed to construct complex, adaptive, and functional architectures without requiring com…
Deterministic Interrelation Between Elastic Moduli in Critically Elastic Materials
Hongryol Jeon, Mahdi Sadjadi, Varda F. Hagh
Critically elastic materials - those that are rigid with a single state of self-stress - can be generated from parent systems with two states of self-stress by the removal of one o…
