Self-locking non-volatile coding metasurfaces via origami-based mechanical bits
Ding Zhang, Peng Tang, Liqiao Jing +7
Digital coding metasurfaces have revolutionized electromagnetic (EM) manipulation, yet typical tunable approaches based on active components suffer from the "volatility" bottleneck…
Stiffness and Buckling Behavior of Woven Columns
Jaimie Krankel, Guowei Wayne Tu, Evgueni T. Filipov
Woven shell structures are beneficial for applications requiring lightweight, damage resilience, and design tunability, such as in wearable devices, soft robotics, and aerospace sy…
Engineering snags for spatial curvature in weaves: Fabrication, mechanics, and inverse design
Guowei Wayne Tu, Evgueni T. Filipov
Weaving as an old craft has extensive applications in modern science and technology such as smart textiles and intelligent soft robots. However, weaving irregular curved surfaces h…
Origami of Multi-Layered Spaced Sheets
Guowei Wayne Tu, Evgueni T. Filipov
Two-dimensional (2D) origami tessellations such as the Miura-ori are often generalized to build three-dimensional (3D) architected materials with sandwich or cellular structures. H…
Corner Topology Makes Woven Baskets into Stiff, yet Resilient Metamaterials
Guowei Wayne Tu, Evgueni T. Filipov
Basket weaving is a traditional craft used to create practical three-dimensional (3D) structures. While the geometry and aesthetics of baskets have received considerable attention,…
