Beyond Crease Geometry: Multistability in Origami-Inspired Structures through Local Fold Architectures
Sagi Senderovich, Ezra Ben-Abu, Shai Elbaz +3
Origami-inspired tubular structures provide a versatile platform for shape morphing, with multistability achieved predominantly through crease-network geometry. Expanding the range…
Growing structure based on viscous actuation of constrained multistable elements
Ezra Ben Abu, Yaron Veksler, Shai Elbaz +2
Growing soft materials which follow a 3D path in space are critical to applications such as search and rescue and minimally invasive surgery. Here, we present a concept for a singl…
Forced motion of a cylinder within a liquid-filled elastic tube
Amit Vurgaft, Shai B. Elbaz, Amir D. Gat
This work analyzes the viscous flow and elastic deformation created by the forced axial motion of a rigid cylinder within an elastic liquid-filled tube. The examined configuration…
Dynamics and instabilities of an arbitrarily clamped elastic sheet in potential flow with application to shape-morphing airfoils
Netanel Hassan, Shai B. Elbaz, Amir D. Gat
The aim of this work is to study the dynamics and stability of soft shape-morphing configurations and specifically the modes of interaction between the front and rear airfoil segme…
Gaseous viscous peeling of linearly elastic substrates
Shai B. Elbaz, Hila Jacob, Amir D. Gat
We study pressure-driven propagation of gas into a micron-scale gap between two linearly elastic substrates. Applying the lubrication approximation, the flow-field is governed by t…
Axial Creeping Flow in the Gap between a Rigid Cylinder and a Concentric Elastic Tube
Shai B. Elbaz, Amir D. Gat
We examine transient axial creeping flow in the annular gap between a rigid cylinder and a concentric elastic tube. The gap is initially filled with a thin fluid layer. The study f…
