Discrete Differential Geometry for Simulating Nonlinear Behaviors of Flexible Systems: A Survey
Dezhong Tong, Andrew Choi, Jiaqi Wang +7
Flexible slender structures such as rods, ribbons, plates, and shells exhibit extreme nonlinear responses bending, twisting, buckling, wrinkling, and self contact, that defy conven…
Midveins regulate the shape formation of drying leaves
Kexin Guo, Yafei Zhang, Massimo Paradiso +3
Dried leaves in nature often exhibit curled and crumpled morphologies, typically attributed to internal strain gradients that produce dome-like shapes. However, the origin of these…
A tutorial on simulating nonlinear behaviors of flexible structures with the discrete differential geometry (DDG) method
Weicheng Huang, Zhuonan Hao, Jiahao Li +6
Flexible elastic structures, such as beams, rods, ribbons, plates, and shells, exhibit complex nonlinear dynamical behaviors that are central to a wide range of engineering and sci…
Localized tension-induced giant folding in unstructured elastic sheets
Kexin Guo, Marc Suñé, Kwok Ming Li +3
Buckling in compression is the archetype of elastic instability: when compressed along its longest dimension, a thin structure such as a playing card will buckle out-of-plane accom…
Simplified discrete model for axisymmetric dielectric elastomer membranes with robotic applications
Zhaowei Liu, Mingchao Liu, K. Jimmy Hsia +2
Soft robots utilizing inflatable dielectric membranes can realize intricate functionalities through the application of non-mechanical fields. However, given the current limitations…
Discrete differential geometry-based model for nonlinear analysis of axisymmetric shells
Weicheng Huang, Tianzhen Liu, Zhaowei Liu +4
In this paper, we propose a novel one-dimensional (1D) discrete differential geometry (DDG)-based numerical method for geometrically nonlinear mechanics analysis (e.g., buckling an…
