Beyond Crease Geometry: Multistability in Origami-Inspired Structures through Local Fold Architectures
Sagi Senderovich, Ezra Ben-Abu, Shai Elbaz +3
Origami-inspired tubular structures provide a versatile platform for shape morphing, with multistability achieved predominantly through crease-network geometry. Expanding the range…
Passive Vibration-Driven Locomotion
Anna Zigelman, Gilad Israel, Yizhar Or +1
We investigate a concept of passive, vibration-driven locomotion, in which a mechanical system achieves horizontal self-propulsion by resonantly harvesting energy from vertical env…
Dynamics and multi-stability of a rotor-actuated Twistcar robot with passive steering joint
Anna Zigelman, Zitao Yu, Rom Levy +1
The nonlinear dynamics of many under-actuated wheeled platforms are governed by nonholonomic constraints of no-skid for passively rolling wheels, coupled with momentum balance. In…
Magnetic control of metafluids for fluid-like applications of metamaterials
Ezra Ben-Abu, Anna Zigelman, Sefi Givli +1
Metamaterials are structures composed of repeating unit-cells which enable macro-scale properties not found in nature. Since metamaterials are typically solid structures with prede…
Dynamics of Purcell-type microswimmers with active-elastic joints
Anna Zigelman, Gilad Ben Zvi, Yizhar Or
Purcell's planar three-link microswimmer is a classic model of swimming in low-Reynolds-number fluid, inspired by motion of flagellated microorganisms. Many works analyzed this mod…
Growing structure based on viscous actuation of constrained multistable elements
Ezra Ben Abu, Yaron Veksler, Shai Elbaz +2
Growing soft materials which follow a 3D path in space are critical to applications such as search and rescue and minimally invasive surgery. Here, we present a concept for a singl…
Connecting monotonic and oscillatory motions of the meniscus of a volatile polymer solution to the transport of polymer coils and deposit morphology
Mohammad Abo Jabal, Ala Egbaria, Anna Zigelman +2
We study the connection between the polymer deposition patterns to appear following the evaporation of a solution of poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) in toluene, the transport of th…
