Modular fabrication and design of thick rigid-foldable origami metamaterials
Sunao Tomita, Hiroki Kobayashi, Shoko Arita +4
Origami metamaterials offer significant potential for stiff deployable structures However, fabricating load-bearing cellular structures from thick panels introduces geometric inter…
Data-driven model order reduction for structures with piecewise linear nonlinearity using dynamic mode decomposition
Akira Saito, Masato Tanaka
Piecewise-linear nonlinear systems appear in many engineering disciplines. Prediction of the dynamic behavior of such systems is of great importance from practical and theoretical…
Shell topology optimization based on level set method
Hiroki Kobayashi, Katsuya Nomura, Yuqing Zhou +3
This paper proposes a level set-based method for optimizing shell structures with large design changes in shape and topology. Conventional shell optimization methods, whether param…
Computational synthesis of locomotive soft robots by topology optimization
Hiroki Kobayashi, Farzad Gholami, S. Macrae Montgomery +7
Locomotive soft robots (SoRos) have gained prominence due to their adaptability. Traditional locomotive SoRo design is based on limb structures inspired by biological organisms and…
