Controlling fracture cascades through twisting and quenching

Ronald H. Heisser, Vishal P. Patil, Norbert Stoop +1

Fracture limits the structural stability of macroscopic and microscopic materials, from beams and bones to microtubules and nanotubes. Despite recent progress, fracture control con…

Inverse Design of Discrete Mechanical Metamaterials

Henrik Ronellenfitsch, Norbert Stoop, Josephine Yu +2

Mechanical and phononic metamaterials exhibiting negative elastic moduli, gapped vibrational spectra, or topologically protected modes enable precise control of structural and acou…

Geometry of wave propagation on active deformable surfaces

Pearson W. Miller, Norbert Stoop, Jörn Dunkel

Fundamental biological and biomimetic processes, from tissue morphogenesis to soft robotics, rely on the propagation of chemical and mechanical surface waves to signal and coordina…

Curvature-Induced Instabilities of Shells

Matteo Pezzulla, Norbert Stoop, Mark P. Steranka +2

Induced by proteins within the cell membrane or by differential growth, heating, or swelling, spontaneous curvatures can drastically affect the morphology of thin bodies and induce…

Kibble-Zurek mechanism in curved elastic surface crystals

Norbert Stoop, Jörn Dunkel

Topological defects shape the material and transport properties of physical systems. Examples range from vortex lines in quantum superfluids, defect-mediated buckling of graphene,…

Curvature-Driven Morphing of Non-Euclidean Shells

Matteo Pezzulla, Norbert Stoop, Xin Jiang +1

We investigate how thin structures change their shape in response to non-mechanical stimuli that can be interpreted as variations in the structure's natural curvature. Starting fro…
