Training overdamped dynamics
Marc Berneman, Daniel Hexner
In regimes where inertia is negligible, the temporal evolution is governed by overdamped dynamics. This limit is particularly relevant in soft-matter contexts, such as polymers, co…
Banding and polarization in driven multistable materials
Sheng Huang, Daniel Hexner
We study a disordered network of bistable bonds subjected to periodic strain. The model is inspired by experiments on crumpled sheets and it features behaviors associated with glas…
Equilibrium Propagation for Dissipative Dynamics
Marc Berneman, Daniel Hexner
Computing gradients of a cost function is central to design-based optimization and machine learning algorithms. Equilibrium propagation provides an exact method to compute gradient…
Designing precise dynamical steady states in disordered networks
Marc Berneman, Daniel Hexner
Elastic structures can be designed to exhibit precise, complex, and exotic functions. While recent work has focused on the quasistatic limit governed by force balance, the mechanic…
Are crumpled sheets marginally stable?
Dor Shohat, Yoav Lahini, Daniel Hexner
We study networks of coupled bistable elastic elements, recently proposed as a model for crumpled thin sheets. The networks are poised on the verge of a localized instability, and…
Mechanical regularization
Himangsu Bhaumik, Daniel Hexner
Training materials through periodic drive allows to endow materials and structures with complex elastic functions. As a result of the driving, the system explores the high dimensio…
