Autonomous Deployment of a Solar Panel Using an Elastic Origami and Distributed Shape Memory Polymer Actuators
Tian Chen, Osama R. Bilal, Robert Lang +2
Deployable mechanical systems such as space solar panels rely on the intricate stowage of passive modules, and sophisticated deployment using a network of motorized actuators. As a…
Architected lattices for simultaneous broadband attenuation of airborne sound and mechanical vibrations in all directions
Osama R. Bilal, David Ballagi, Chiara Daraio
Phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials are architected lattices designed to control the propagation of acoustic or elastic waves. In these materials, the dispersion propertie…
Characterization of vertically aligned carbon nanotube forests grown on stainless steel surfaces
Eleftheria Roumeli, Marianna Diamantopoulou, Marc Serra-Garcia +3
Vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) forests are a particularly interesting class of nanomaterials, because they combine multifunctional properties, such as high energy absorpt…
Experimental realization of on-chip topological nanoelectromechanical metamaterials
Jinwoong Cha, Kun Woo Kim, Chiara Daraio
Topological mechanical metamaterials translate condensed matter phenomena, like non-reciprocity and robustness to defects, into classical platforms. At small scales, topological na…
Shape-morphing architected sheets with non-periodic cut patterns
Paolo Celli, Connor McMahan, Brian Ramirez +5
We investigate the out-of-plane shape morphing capability of single-material elastic sheets with architected cut patterns that result in arrays of tiles connected by flexible hinge…
Accordion-like metamaterials with tunable ultra-wide low-frequency band gaps
Anastasiia O. Krushynska, Ada Amendola, Federico Bosia +3
We study lightweight, elastic metamaterials consisting of tensegrity-inspired prisms, which present wide, low-frequency band gaps. For their realization, we alternate tensegrity el…
