Geometric mechanics of random kirigami
Gaurav Chaudhary, Lauren Niu, Marta Lewicka +2
The presence of cuts in a thin planar sheet can dramatically alter its mechanical and geometrical response to loading, as the cuts allow the sheet to deform strongly in the third d…

Totimorphic assemblies from neutrally-stable units
Gaurav Chaudhary, S Ganga Prasath, Edward Soucy +1
Inspired by the quest for shape-shifting structures in a range of applications, we show how to create morphable structural materials using a neutrally stable unit cell as a buildin…
