Spatiotemporal Disk Packing for Directed Growth of Complex Geometries
Yigit Hergul, Yun Seong Kim, Rohan Shah +2
Growing complex shapes requires control over both where growth begins and how it evolves in time. Here, we introduce a geometric framework for growing prescribed 2D shapes using a…
Embedded Direct Ink Writing of Thermoset and Elastomeric Polymers via Frontal Polymerization
Mohammad Tanver Hossain, Yun Seong Kim, Pallab Layek +10
Direct ink writing (DIW) using frontal ring-opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP) offers a compelling route to the rapid and energy-efficient fabrication of thermoset and elast…
Physics of unraveling and micromechanics of hagfish threads
Mohammad Tanver Hossain, Dakota Piorkowski, Andrew Lowe +5
Hagfish slime is a unique biological material composed of mucus and protein threads that rapidly deploy into a cohesive network when deployed in seawater. The forces involved in th…
How do imperfections cause asymmetry in elastic snap-through?
Andrea Giudici, Weicheng Huang, Qiong Wang +4
A symmetrically-buckled arch whose boundaries are clamped at an angle has two stable equilibria: an inverted and a natural state. When the distance between the clamps is increased…
Transient amplification of broken symmetry in elastic snap-through
Qiong Wang, Andrea Giudici, Weicheng Huang +4
A snap-through bifurcation occurs when a bistable structure loses one of its stable states and moves rapidly to the remaining state. For example, a buckled arch with symmetrically…
Multi-shape memory by dynamic elastocapillary self-assembly
Dongwoo Shin, Sameh Tawfick
Inspired by the synchronized beating of cilia, we show that the collective dynamics of hair-like fibers in a meniscus during fast drainage enables their self-organization into mult…
