Tunable Pathway Selection in Coupled Multistable Snap-Through Systems
Weicheng Huang, Ke Huang, Jiaying Zhang +1
Multistable mechanical systems can store and release elastic energy through snap-through instabilities, but controlling transition pathways between stable states remains challengin…
Bifurcation reordering programs snap-through symmetry in folded elastic ribbons
Weicheng Huang, Qun Zhang, Bohan Zhang +1
Snap-through in slender elastic structures is often viewed as a sudden transition between stable configurations, yet the pathway taken during this transition can differ fundamental…
Dimple-Encoded Reprogrammable Origami
Qun Zhang, Weicheng Huang, Amir Hajiyavand +4
Programmable folding of elastic sheets typically relies on predefined flexible creases or active materials-enabled hinges, which lack intrinsic bistability and limit reprogrammabil…
Inverse design of a magneto-elastica for shape-morphing
JiaHao Li, Yingchao Zhang, Weicheng Huang +4
Slender magnetic elements provide a versatile platform for programmable shape-morphing under remote magnetic actuation. However, a general and physically interpretable framework fo…
From Folding Mechanics to Robotic Function: A Unified Modeling Framework for Compliant Origami
Bohan Zhang, Bo Wang, Huajiang Ouyang +5
Origami inspired architectures offer a powerful route toward lightweight, reconfigurable, and programmable robotic systems. Yet, a unified mechanics framework capable of seamlessly…
