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…
Snapping of Bistable, Prestressed Cylindrical Shells
Xin Jiang, Matteo Pezzulla, Huiqi Shao +2
Bistable shells can reversibly change between two stable configurations with very little energetic input. Understanding what governs the shape and snap-through criteria of these st…
Curvature-Induced Instabilities of Shells
Matteo Pezzulla, Norbert Stoop, Mark P. Steranka +2
Induced by proteins within the cell membrane or by differential growth, heating, or swelling, spontaneous curvatures can drastically affect the morphology of thin bodies and induce…
Morphing of Geometric Composites via Residual Swelling
Matteo Pezzulla, Steven A. Shillig, Paola Nardinocchi +1
Understanding and controlling the shape of thin, soft objects has been the focus of significant research efforts among physicists, biologists, and engineers in the last decade. The…
