Dynamic versus quasi-static response of a cantilevered beam rotated harmonically
Gilad Yakir, Eduardo Gutierrez-Prieto, Pedro M. Reis
We investigate a cantilevered elastic beam subjected to harmonic rotational motion. In the rotating frame, the beam experiences centrifugal and Euler fictitious forces, with neglig…

High-throughput characterization of snap-through stability boundaries of bistable beams in a programmable rotating platform
Eduardo Gutierrez-Prieto, Gilad Yakir, Pedro M. Reis
We introduce a high-throughput platform that enables simultaneous, parallel testing of six bistable beams via programmable motion of a rotating disk. By prescribing harmonic angula…

Dynamic driving enables independent control of material bits for targeted memory
E. Gutierrez-Prieto, C. M. Meulblok, M. van Hecke +1
Mechanical metamaterials with bistable elements can store vast amounts of information, but writing these memories requires impractical local control or lengthy multi-cycle protocol…
