Materializing split, mixed, and three-body interactions using rotor-based mechanical hysterons
Oche T. Ali, Faten A. Al Ardat, Jack Feider +4
Interacting hysteretic spins are an appealing model for cyclically-driven athermal disordered matter. Because they provide a basis for storing and processing information from their…
Mechanical hysterons with tunable interactions of general sign
Joseph D. Paulsen
Hysterons are elementary units of hysteresis that underlie many complex behaviors of non-equilibrium matter. Because models of interacting hysterons can describe disordered matter,…
Single-material 4D-printed shape-morphing structures via spatially patterned strain trapping
S M Asif Iqbal, Hang Zhang, Lin Yang +3
A single-step, single-material 4D printing method is developed for programmable structures featuring spatially patterned strain trapping for one-way actuation. This approach enable…
Learning Associations in Reconfigurable Particle Packings via Local Cyclic Driving
Wenjing Guo, Vidyesh Rao Anisetti, Kairui Zhang +7
We investigate associative-memory behavior in a reconfigurable particle packing programmed by purely local cyclic driving. The system is a two-dimensional bidisperse Lennard--Jones…
Ordered buckling structures in a twisted crimped tube
Pan Dong, Nathan C. Keim, Joseph D. Paulsen
When a ribbon or tube is twisted far enough it forms buckles and wrinkles. Its new geometry can be strikingly ordered, or hopelessly disordered. Here we study this process in a tub…
Controlling Droplets at the Tips of Fibers
Mengfei He, Samay Hulikal, Marianna Marquardt +5
Many complex wetting behaviors of fibrous materials are rooted in the behaviors of individual droplets attached to pairs of fibers. Here, we study the splitting of a droplet held b…
