Fracture in Sheets Draped on Curved Surfaces
Noah P. Mitchell, Vinzenz Koning, Vincenzo Vitelli +1
Conforming materials to rigid substrates with Gaussian curvature --- positive for spheres and negative for saddles --- has proven a versatile tool to guide the self-assembly of def…
Topological mechanics of origami and kirigami
Bryan Gin-ge Chen, Bin Liu, Arthur A. Evans +4
Origami and kirigami have emerged as potential tools for the design of mechanical metamaterials whose properties such as curvature, Poisson ratio, and existence of metastable state…
Topological mechanics of gyroscopic metamaterials
Lisa M. Nash, Dustin Kleckner, Alismari Read +3
Topological mechanical metamaterials are artificial structures whose unusual properties are protected very much like their electronic and optical counterparts. Here, we present an…
Selective buckling via states of self-stress in topological metamaterials
Jayson Paulose, Anne S. Meeussen, Vincenzo Vitelli
States of self-stress, tensions and compressions of structural elements that result in zero net forces, play an important role in determining the load-bearing ability of structures…
Tunable failure: control of rupture through rigidity
Michelle M. Driscoll, Bryan Gin-ge Chen, Thomas H. Beuman +3
We investigate how material rigidity acts as a key control parameter for the failure of solids under stress. In both experiments and simulations, we demonstrate that material failu…
