Tunable Pathway Selection in Coupled Multistable Snap-Through Systems
Weicheng Huang, Ke Huang, Jiaying Zhang +1
Multistable mechanical systems can store and release elastic energy through snap-through instabilities, but controlling transition pathways between stable states remains challengin…
Bifurcation reordering programs snap-through symmetry in folded elastic ribbons
Weicheng Huang, Qun Zhang, Bohan Zhang +1
Snap-through in slender elastic structures is often viewed as a sudden transition between stable configurations, yet the pathway taken during this transition can differ fundamental…
Inverse design of a magneto-elastica for shape-morphing
JiaHao Li, Yingchao Zhang, Weicheng Huang +4
Slender magnetic elements provide a versatile platform for programmable shape-morphing under remote magnetic actuation. However, a general and physically interpretable framework fo…
From Folding Mechanics to Robotic Function: A Unified Modeling Framework for Compliant Origami
Bohan Zhang, Bo Wang, Huajiang Ouyang +5
Origami inspired architectures offer a powerful route toward lightweight, reconfigurable, and programmable robotic systems. Yet, a unified mechanics framework capable of seamlessly…
How do imperfections cause asymmetry in elastic snap-through?
Andrea Giudici, Weicheng Huang, Qiong Wang +4
A symmetrically-buckled arch whose boundaries are clamped at an angle has two stable equilibria: an inverted and a natural state. When the distance between the clamps is increased…
Double-eigenvalue bifurcation and multistability in serpentine strips with tunable buckling behaviors
Qiyao Shi, Weicheng Huang, Tian Yu +1
Serpentine structures, composed of straight and circular strips, have garnered significant attention as potential designs for flexible electronics due to their remarkable stretchab…
Exploiting dynamic bifurcation in elastic ribbons for mode skipping and selection
Weicheng Huang, Tian Yu, Dominic Vella +2
In this paper, we systematically study the dynamic snap-through behavior of a pre-deformed elastic ribbon by combining theoretical analysis, discrete numerical simulations, and exp…
Transient amplification of broken symmetry in elastic snap-through
Qiong Wang, Andrea Giudici, Weicheng Huang +4
A snap-through bifurcation occurs when a bistable structure loses one of its stable states and moves rapidly to the remaining state. For example, a buckled arch with symmetrically…
