Kirigami Actuators
Marcelo A. Dias, Michael P. McCarron, Daniel Rayneau-Kirkhope +4
Thin elastic sheets bend easily and, if they are patterned with cuts, can deform in sophisticated ways. Here we show that carefully tuning the location and arrangement of cuts with…
Designing recipes for auxetic behaviour of 2-d lattices
Daniel J. Rayneau-Kirkhope, Marcelo A. Dias
We present an analytical model to investigate the mechanics of 2-dimensional lattices composed of elastic beams of non-uniform cross-section. Our approach is based on reducing a la…
The shape and mechanics of curved fold origami structures
Marcelo A. Dias, Christian D. Santangelo
We develop recursion equations to describe the three-dimensional shape of a sheet upon which a series of concentric curved folds have been inscribed. In the case of no stretching o…
