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…
Mechanical Weyl Modes in Topological Maxwell Lattices
D. Zeb Rocklin, Bryan Gin-ge Chen, Martin Falk +2
Topological mechanical structures exhibit robust properties protected by topological invariants. In this letter, we study a family of deformed square lattices that display topologi…
Orientational order at finite temperature on undulated surfaces
Carolina Brito, Vincenzo Vitelli, Olivier Dauchot
We study the effect of thermal fluctuations in the XY-model on a surface with non vanishing mean curvature and zero Gaussian curvature. Unlike Gaussian curvature that typically fru…
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…
Solid friction between soft filaments
Andrew Ward, Feodor Hilitski, Walter Schwenger +5
Any macroscopic deformation of a filamentous bundle is necessarily accompanied by local sliding and/or stretching of the constituent filaments. Yet the nature of the sliding fricti…
