Hyper-reduction methods for accelerating nonlinear finite element simulations: open source implementation and reproducible benchmarks
Axel Larsson, Minji Kim, Chris Vales +4
Hyper-reduction methods have gained increasing attention for their potential to accelerate reduced order models for nonlinear systems, yet their comparative accuracy and computatio…
JAX FDM: A differentiable solver for inverse form-finding
Rafael Pastrana, Deniz Oktay, Ryan P. Adams +1
We introduce JAX FDM, a differentiable solver to design mechanically efficient shapes for 3D structures conditioned on target architectural, fabrication and structural properties.…
Continuous modeling of creased annuli with tunable bistable and looping behaviors
Tian Yu, Francesco Marmo, Pasquale Cesarano +1
Creases are purposely introduced to thin structures for designing deployable origami, artistic geometries, and functional structures with tunable nonlinear mechanics. Modeling the…
Learning the nonlinear dynamics of soft mechanical metamaterials with graph networks
Tianju Xue, Sigrid Adriaenssens, Sheng Mao
The dynamics of soft mechanical metamaterials provides opportunities for many exciting engineering applications. Previous studies often use discrete systems, composed of rigid elem…
Three Cooperative Robotic Fabrication Methods for the Scaffold-Free Construction of a Masonry Arch
Edvard P. G. Bruun, Rafael Pastrana, Vittorio Paris +4
Geometrically complex masonry structures (e.g., arches, domes, vaults) are traditionally built with expensive scaffolding or falsework to provide stability during construction. The…
Numerical modeling of static equilibria and bifurcations in bigons and bigon rings
Tian Yu, Lauren Dreier, Francesco Marmo +3
In this study, we explore the mechanics of a bigon and a bigon ring from a combination of experiments and numerical simulations. A bigon is a simple elastic network consisting of t…
