Inverse Design of Metainterfaces for Static Friction Control: Beyond the Hertzian Limit
Jacopo Bilotto, Arnav Singhal, Joaquin Garcia-Suarez +3
Programming the static friction of mechanical interfaces is critical for soft robotics, haptics, and precision gripping. Static friction is governed by the real contact area, and s…

Phase-space iterative solvers
Gaëtan Cortes, Nur Cristian Sangiorgio, Joaquin Garcia-Suarez
We introduce an iterative method to solve problems in small-strain non-linear elasticity, termed ``Phase-Space Iterations'' (PSIs). The method is inspired by recent work in data-dr…
