Toughening mechanisms and damage propagation in Architected-Interfaces
Michelle L. S. Hedvard, Marcelo A. Dias, Michal K. Budzik
We investigate fracture toughness of architected interfaces and their ability to maintain structural integrity and provide stable damage propagation conditions beyond the failure l…
On local kirigami mechanics II: Stretchable creased solutions
Souhayl Sadik, Martin G. Walker, Marcelo A. Dias
Following on Part I of this work series on local kirigami mechanics, we present a study of a discretely creased mechanism as a model to investigate the mechanics of the basic geome…
Re-entrant tensegrity: A three-periodic, chiral, tensegrity structure that is auxetic
Mathias Oster, Marcelo A. Dias, Timo de Wolff +1
We present a three-periodic, chiral, tensegrity structure and demonstrate that it is auxetic. Our tensegrity structure is constructed using the chiral symmetry Π+ cylinder packing,…
Can confined mechanical metamaterials replace adhesives?
Adrianos E. F. Athanasiadis, Marcelo A. Dias, Michal K. Budzik
The subject of mechanical metamaterials has been gaining significant attention, however, their widespread application is still halted. Such materials are usually considered as stan…
On Local Kirigami Mechanics I: Isometric Conical Solutions
Souhayl Sadik, Marcelo A. Dias
Over the past decade, kirigami--the Japanese art of paper cutting--has been playing an increasing role in the emerging field of mechanical metamaterials and a myriad of other mecha…
Tunable wrinkling of thin nematic liquid crystal elastomer sheets
Madison S. Krieger, Marcelo A. Dias
Instabilities in thin elastic sheets, such as wrinkles, are of broad interest both from a fundamental viewpoint and also because of their potential for engineering applications. Ne…
