Abstract: This paper investigates the dispersion behavior of elastic wave propagation in hierarchical honeycombs using the finite element method in conjunction with the Bloch's theorem. The hierarchical honeycomb is constructed by ...

Abstract: Fractal lattice is a kind of lattices with multifunctional physical characteristics and superior mechanical properties. The wave propagation of the triangular lattice with Koch fractal is calculated by the finite element ...

Abstract: Origami inspires various designs of foldable prismatic structures with zerothickness facets. However, there is a difficulty in directly applying them to thick materials. This paper presents a novel design of the foldable ...

Abstract: This paper studies a variable length elastica with a fixed point constraint by an assembly method that regards the whole elastica as an assembly of two components, i.e., pinned-clamped elasticas. The pinned-clamped elastica ...

Abstract: In this study, a data-driven approach using the embedded variational principle is used to identify the variational equations of vortex-induced vibration fluid–structure interaction systems, in particular the coupling term ...
