Tuning flow asymmetry with bio-inspired soft leaflets
Martin Brandenbourger, Adrien Dangremont, Rudolf Sprik +1
In Nature, liquids often circulate in channels textured with leaflets, cilia or porous walls that deform with the flow. These soft structures are optimized to passively control flo…
Observation of non-Hermitian topology and its bulk-edge correspondence in an active mechanical metamaterial
Ananya Ghatak, Martin Brandenbourger, Jasper van Wezel +1
Topological edge modes are excitations that are localized at the materials' edges and yet are characterized by a topological invariant defined in the bulk. Such bulk-edge correspon…
Viscoelastic Metamaterials
David M. J. Dykstra, Joris Busink, Bernard Ennis +1
Mechanical metamaterials are artificial composites with tunable advanced mechanical properties. Particularly interesting types of mechanical metamaterials are flexible metamaterial…
Non-reciprocal robotic metamaterials
Martin Brandenbourger, Xander Locsin, Edan Lerner +1
Non-reciprocal transmission of motion is potentially highly beneficial to a wide range of applications, ranging from wave guiding, to shock and vibration damping and energy harvest…
Buckling of self-assembled colloidal structures
Simon Stuij, Jan Maarten van Doorn, Thomas Kodger +3
Although buckling is a prime route to achieve functionalization and synthesis of single colloids, buckling of colloidal structures---made up of multiple colloids---remains poorly s…
