Fluid--structure interactions of bristled wings: The trade-off between weight and drag
Yuexia Luna Lin, Matteo Pezzulla, Pedro M. Reis
The smallest flying insects often have bristled wings resembling feathers or combs. We combined experiments and three-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the trade-off…
A geometrically exact model for thin magneto-elastic shells
Matteo Pezzulla, Dong Yan, Pedro M. Reis
We develop a reduced model for hard-magnetic, thin, linear-elastic shells that can be actuated through an external magnetic field, with geometrically exact strain measures. Assumin…
A Kirchhoff-like theory for hard magnetic rods under geometrically nonlinear deformation in three dimensions
Tomohiko G. Sano, Matteo Pezzulla, Pedro M. Reis
Magneto-rheological elastomers (MREs) are functional materials that can be actuated by applying an external magnetic field. MREs comprise a composite of hard magnetic particles dis…
Magneto-active elastic shells with tunable buckling strength
Dong Yan, Matteo Pezzulla, Lilian Cruveiller +2
Shell buckling is central in many biological structures and advanced functional materials, even if, traditionally, this elastic instability has been regarded as a catastrophic phen…
Buckling of geometrically confined shells
Lucia Stein-Montalvo, Paul Costa, Matteo Pezzulla +1
We study the periodic buckling patterns that emerge when elastic shells are subjected to geometric confinement. Residual swelling provides access to range of shapes (saddles, rolle…
The nonlinear buckling behavior of a complete spherical shell under uniform external pressure and homogenous natural curvature
Douglas P. Holmes, Jeong-Ho Lee, Harold S. Park +1
In this work, we consider the stability of a spherical shell under combined loading from a uniform external pressure and a homogenous natural curvature. Non-mechanical stimuli, suc…
