Abstract: Similar to Poisson’s effect, mechanical coupling is a directional indirect response by a directional input loading. With the advance in manufacturing techniques of 3D complex geometry, architected materials with unit cells ...

Abstract: The objective of this work is to develop a multiscale modeling tool of copolymers with long chains. We propose an enhanced coarse-graining method of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with three beads. The proposed coarse-graining ...

Abstract: A bistable curved beam with magnetictorquedriven actuation has the potential for fast and untethered reconfiguration of metamaterials. However, there is currently no modeling method for a bistable curved beam for which the ...

Abstract: A bistable curved beam with magnetic-torque-driven actuation has the potential for fast and untethered reconfiguration of metamaterials. However, there is currently no modeling method for a bistable curved beam for which ...

Abstract: Cellular materials' two important properties—structure and mechanism—can be selectively used for materials design; in particular, they are used to determine the modulus and yield strain. The objective of this study is ...

Abstract: Adding programmable function to elastic metamaterials makes them versatile and intelligent. The objective of this study is to design and demonstrate thermomechanically tunable metamaterials with a compliant porous structure ...
