Continuum Elasticity Theory Approach for Spontaneous Bending and Twisting of Ribbons Induced by Mechanical Anisotropy
Zi Chen, Carmel Majidi, David J. Srolovitz +1
Helical ribbons arise in many biological and engineered systems, often driven by anisotropic surface stress, residual strain, and geometric or elastic mismatch between layers of a…

Nonlinear geometric effects in mechanical bistable morphing structures
Zi Chen, Qiaohang Guo, Carmel Majidi +3
Bistable structures associated with non-linear deformation behavior, exemplified by the Venus flytrap and slap bracelet, can switch between different functional shapes upon actuati…
