Geometry and Mechanics of Ribbon Gridshells
Daniel Castro, Joo-Won Hong, Hillel Aharoni +3
Mechanical metamaterials exhibit anomalous properties induced from non-trivial mesoscopic constituents. Inspired from architectural and industrial structures, we introduce arrangem…
Pressure and asymmetry govern the shape and stiffness of inflatables
Nathan Vani, Tom Joblin, Alejandro Ibarra +3
Inflatables made of thin sheets constitute a lightweight, scalable alternative to conventional soft robots. Since sheets are essentially inextensible while offering low resistance…
Asymmetric Bending Boundary Layer: the -test
Nathan Vani, Alejandro Ibarra, José Bico +2
We investigate the mechanics of two asymmetric ribbons bound at one end and pulled apart at the other ends. We characterize the elastic junction near the bonding and conceptualize…
Piercing an interface with a brush: collaborative stiffening
F. Chiodi, B. Roman, J. Bico
The hairs of a painting brush withdrawn from a wetting liquid self-assemble into clumps whose sizes rely on a balance between liquid surface tension and hairs bending rigidity. Her…
