Twist-driven helical flattening in nematic elastomer cylinders
Alexia Chatzitheodorou, Christian D. Santangelo
Liquid Crystal elastomers (LCEs) deform anisotropically along a prescribed nematic director field, making them promising candidates for programmable shape change. Existing studies…
Dynamical geometric modes in non-Euclidean plates
Joseph C. Roback, Carlos E. Moguel-Lehmer, Katharina A. Fransen +2
When subjected to specific prestresses, continuum elastic shells can exhibit geometric zero modes: complex motions that require vanishing elastic energy to excite, enabling them to…
Bonded-particle model for magneto-elastic rods
Gabriel Alkuino, Joel T. Clemmer, Christian D. Santangelo +1
We develop a bonded-particle model for magneto-elastic rods that unifies large deformations, contact, and long-range magnetic interactions within a single discrete-element framewor…
