We combine discrete differential geometry (DDG)-based models and desktop experiments to
study supercritical pitchfork bifurcation of a pre-compressed elastic plate under lateral end …

Architected materials can exhibit mechanical properties that do not occur with ordinary
solids. By integrating hierarchy and size effects, microarchitected metamaterials fabricated …

RNA nanotechnology aims to use RNA as a programmable material to create self-
assembling nanodevices for application in medicine and synthetic biology. The main …

This study presents a novel peridynamic model for geometrically nonlinear analysis of three-
dimensional beam structures. The formulations of nonlinear strain energy densities for a …

The diverse chemical and physical reactions encountered during cooking connect us to
science every day. Here, we theoretically and experimentally investigate the swelling and …

Slender beams are often employed as constituents in engineering materials and structures.
Prior experiments on lattices of slender beams have highlighted their complex failure …

Recent reports of the release of large numbers of respirable and critically long fiber-shaped
fragments from mesophase pitch-based carbon fiber polymer composites during machining …

In this work, we consider the stability of a spherical shell under combined loading from a
uniform external pressure and a homogenous natural curvature. Nonmechanical stimuli …
