Though the past 15 years have seen an exciting run of creative scientific advances in fabricating three-dimensional (3-D) structures by self-folding of 2-D sheets, the complexity of structures ...
The objective of the EFRI project led by Daniela Rus of MIT is to create computational materials whose properties can be programmed to achieve specific shapes and/or mechanical properties, such as ...
“Multiscale Structural Mechanics: Top-Down Modeling of Composite Structures Using Mechanics of Structure Genome” delivers a unified approach to composites modeling based on the concept of structure ...
image: Researchers from NC State University have developed a new technique to control self-folding three-dimensional (3D) structures. Specifically, the researchers use templates to constrain ...
Researchers report a method for designing biomimetic deployable structures based on earwig wings. Earwig wings are capable of extreme compactness when fully folded, reaching packing areas of ...
The main mechanism behind plant movement is water absorption and release; the cellulose present in plant tissues draws water in and expands, and the underlying arrangement of cellulose fibers guides ...
In recent years molecular dynamics simulations, originally developed for numerical simulation of simple model systems in statistical mechanics 1, have developed into a powerful tool for studying the ...
Researchers have developed a new technique to control self-folding three-dimensional (3D) structures. Specifically, the researchers use templates to constrain deformation in certain selected areas on ...
