Kirigami-inspired inflatables with programmable shapes
Lishuai Jin, Antonio Elia Forte, Bolei Deng +2
Kirigami, the Japanese art of paper cutting, has recently enabled the design of stretchable mechanical metamaterials that can be easily realized by embedding arrays of periodic cut…
Propagation of pop ups in kirigami shells
Ahmad Rafsanjani, Lishuai Jin, Bolei Deng +1
Kirigami-inspired metamaterials are attracting increasing interest because of their ability to achieve extremely large strains and shape changes via out-of-plane buckling. While in…
Porous mechanical metamaterials as interacting elastic charges
Gabriele Librandi, Michael Moshe, Yoav Lahini +1
We present an analytical framework to describe the complex nonlinear response of two-dimensional porous mechanical metamaterials. We adopt a geometric approach to elasticity in whi…
Buckling-Induced Kirigami
Ahmad Rafsanjani, Katia Bertoldi
We investigate the mechanical response of thin sheets perforated with a square array of mutually orthogonal cuts, which leaves a network of squares connected by small ligaments. Ou…
