Hierarchical Granular Metamaterials
James Utama Surjadi, Bastien F. G. Aymon, Ayan Kumar +4
Granular materials dissipate energy efficiently through intergranular interactions, yet their disordered, dense nature precludes precise control and integration into lightweight sy…
Self-locking and Stability of the Bowline Knot
Bastien F. G. Aymon, Fani Derveni, Michael Gomez +2
We investigate the self-locking of the bowline knot through numerical simulations, experiments, and theoretical analysis. Specifically, we perform two complementary types of simula…
Design framework for programmable three-dimensional woven metamaterials
Molly Carton, James Utama Surjadi, Bastien F. G. Aymon +1
Mechanical metamaterials have continued to offer unprecedented tunability in mechanical properties, but most designs to date have prioritized attaining high stiffness and strength…
Double-network-inspired mechanical metamaterials
James Utama Surjadi, Bastien F. G. Aymon, Molly Carton +1
Mechanical metamaterials are renowned for their ability to achieve high stiffness and strength at low densities, often at the expense of low ductility and stretchability-a persiste…
Designing a braille reader using the snap buckling of bistable magnetic shells
Arefeh Abbasi, Tian Chen, Bastien F. G. Aymon +1
A design concept is introduced for the building block, a dot, of programmable braille readers utilizing bistable shell buckling, magnetic actuation, and pneumatic loading. The desi…
A reduced-order, rotation-based model for thin hard-magnetic plates
Dong Yan, Bastien F. G. Aymon, Pedro M. Reis
We develop a reduced-order model for thin plates made of hard magnetorheological elastomers (hard-MREs), which are materials composed of hard-magnetic particles embedded in a polym…
