Learned multi-stability in mechanical networks
Menachem Stern, Matthew B. Pinson, Arvind Murugan
We contrast the distinct frameworks of materials design and physical learning in creating elastic networks with desired stable states. In design, the desired states are specified i…
The difficulty of folding self-folding origami
Menachem Stern, Matthew Pinson, Arvind Murugan
Why is it difficult to refold a previously folded sheet of paper? We show that even crease patterns with only one designed folding motion inevitably contain an exponential number o…
Signal Transmissibility in Marginal Granular Materials
Matthew B. Pinson, Thomas A. Witten
We examine the "transmissibility" of a simulated two-dimensional pack of frictionless disks formed by confining dilute disks in a shrinking, periodic box to the point of mechanical…
Inferring Pore Connectivity from Sorption Hysteresis in Multiscale Porous Media
Matthew B. Pinson, Tingtao Zhou, Hamlin M. Jennings +1
Vapor adsorption experiments are widely used to assess pore size distributions, but the large hysteresis sometimes observed between sorption and desorption isotherms remains diffic…
Theory of SEI Formation in Rechargeable Batteries: Capacity Fade, Accelerated Aging and Lifetime Prediction
Matthew B. Pinson, Martin Z. Bazant
Cycle life is critically important in applications of rechargeable batteries, but lifetime prediction is mostly based on empirical trends, rather than mathematical models. In pract…
