Abstract: Origami-inspired approaches to deployable or morphing structures have received significant interest. For such applications, the shape of the origami structure must be actively controlled. We propose a distributed network ...

Abstract: The work describes the manufacturing, mechanical properties, and wave propagation characteristics of a pyramidal lattice made exhibiting an auxetic (negative Poisson's ratio) behavior. Contrary to similar lattice tessellations ...

Abstract: We develop an analytical formulation describing propagating flexural waves in periodically simply supported nanoribbons by means of Eringen's nonlocal elasticity. The nonlocal length scale is identified via atomistic finite ...

Abstract: In this work, the variational asymptotic method (VAM) based homogenization framework is used for the first time to determine the equivalent elastic stiffness tensor of auxetic materials. The proposed method allows the ...

Abstract: The work investigates the application of a novel frame model to reduce computational cost of the mistuning analysis of bladed disk systems. A full-scale finite element (FE) model of the bladed disk is considered as benchmark. ...
