Design and modelling of compliant mechanisms with invertible Poisson's ratio effect for growing biological cells
Manu Sebastian, Sreenath Balakrishnan, Safvan Palathingal
The behaviour of biological cells depends on the mechanical properties, such as Elastic Modulus and Poisson's ratio, of the substrate they adhere to. Tunable materials such as poly…
Bistability of midpoint-fused arches with pinned-pinned boundary conditions
Rajat Goswami, Safvan Palathingal
Arranging multiple arches in a circular pattern and fusing them at their midpoint yields a three-dimensional configuration that we refer to as midpoint-fused arches (MFA). This stu…
Compliant Mechanisms for Invertible Poisson's Ratio and Tunable Stiffness in Cell Culture Substrates
Manu Sebastian, Sreenath Balakrishnan, Safvan Palathingal
The mechanical environment of a substrate plays a key role in influencing the behavior of adherent biological cells. Traditional tunable substrates have limitations as their mechan…
Design of an engaging-disengaging compliant mechanism by using bistable arches
Mehul Srivastava, Trishna Gunna, Makarand Kandiyaped Serkad +2
Compliant mechanisms utilise elastic deformation of their segments to transmit motion or force. The utility and behaviour of specific compliant mechanisms can be enhanced by introd…
