Victoria A. Webster-Wood, Nicholas Gravish, Amir Alavi +37
This report provides a summary of the outcomes of the Interdisciplinary Workshop on Mechanical Intelligence held in 2024. Mechanical Intelligence (MI) represents the phenomenon tha…
Phonon controlled mechanical memory via pinning and depinning of transition waves
Samuele Ferracin, Dengge Jin, Vincent Tournat +1
Multistable mechanical metamaterials enable programmable transitions between discrete stable states through propagating kink transition waves (TWs). Yet controlling these kinks typ…
Effect of discreteness on domain wall stability in a plate coupled to a foundation of bistable elements
Dengge Jin, Samuele Ferracin, Vincent Tournat +1
Surfaces and structures capable of multiple stable configurations have attracted growing interest for on-demand shape morphing. In this work, we consider an elastic compliant plate…
Tether-Based Architecture for Solar-Powered Orbital AI Data Centers
Igor Bargatin, Dengge Jin, Zaini Alansari +1
We propose a tether-based structural architecture for orbital data centers operating in Dawn-Dusk Sun-Synchronous (DDSS) orbits under continuous sunlight. These space-based data ce…
