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…
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…
Overcurvature induced multistability of linked conical frusta: How a `bendy straw' holds its shape
Nakul P. Bende, Tian Yu, Nicholas A. Corbin +4
We study the origins of multiple mechanically stable states exhibited by an elastic shell comprising multiple conical frusta, a geometry common to reconfigurable corrugated structu…
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…
Analytic analysis of auxetic metamaterials through analogy with rigid link systems
Daniel Rayneau-Kirkhope, Chengzhao Zhang, Louis Theran +1
Recent progress in advanced additive manufacturing techniques has stimulated the growth of the field of mechanical metamaterials. One area particular interest in this subject is th…
