Discontinuous Buckling of Wide Beams and Metabeams
Corentin Coulais, Johannes T. B. Overvelde, Luuk A. Lubbers +2
We uncover how nonlinearities dramatically alter the buckling of elastic beams. First, we show experimentally that sufficiently wide ordinary elastic beams and specifically designe…
Programmable Mechanical Metamaterials
Bastiaan Florijn, Corentin Coulais, Martin van Hecke
We create mechanical metamaterials whose response to uniaxial compression can be programmed by lateral confinement, allowing monotonic, non-monotonic and hysteretic behavior. These…
Shear modulus and Dilatancy Softening in Granular Packings above Jamming
Corentin Coulais, Antoine Seguin, Olivier Dauchot
We investigate experimentally the mechanical response of a monolayer of bi-disperse frictional grains to an inhomogeneous shear perturbation across the jamming transition. We infla…
