Abstract: Arch and serpentine structures are two fundamental structural forms with significant applications in various fields. When subjected to compressive loading at both ends, these structures undergo flexural-torsional post-buckling, ...

Abstract: Shape-programmable materials have garnered significant attention for their ability to morph into complex three-dimensional (3D) configurations under external stimuli, with critical applications in the fields of biomedical ...

Abstract: Stretchability of the stretchable and flexible electronics involves the post-buckling behaviors of internal connectors that are designed into various shapes of curved beams. The linear displacement–curvature relation is ...

Abstract: Mechanically guided three-dimensional (3D) assembly based on the controlled buckling of pre-designed 2D thin-film precursors provides deterministic routes to complex 3D mesostructures in diverse functional materials, with ...
