A solid-shell model of hard-magnetic soft materials

Hard-magnetic soft materials (HMSMs) consisting of an elastomer matrix filled with high remnant magnetic particles can exhibit flexible programmability and rapid shape changing under non-contact activation, showing promising potential applications in soft robotics, biomedical devices and flexible electronics. Precise predictions of large deformations of hard-magnetic soft materials would be a key for relevant applications.

Deep-learning model using a small dataset

One the main challenges of developing data-driven models is the data-hungry nature of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). In our recent paper, we introduced a data augmentation approach to expand a small original dataset without conducting extra expensive high-fidelity simulations. We then used the original and augmented datasets for developing ANN models for non-linear path dependent composites. The obtained results showed the great impact of the data augmentation approach on the accuracy of the data-driven models.

Applied Mechanics Division Student Competition

The ASME AMD Division sponsors the Applied Mechanics Division Student Competition in Track 7 and Track 12, generously funded by the Haythornthwaite Foundation. Full-time students working on a project, thesis, or dissertation that is at a readiness for presentation at IMECE are encouraged to apply.

Morphomechanics of growing curled petals and leaves

Petals and leaves are usually curled and exhibit intriguing morphology evolution upon growth, which contributes to their important biological functions. To understand the underlying morphoelastic mechanism and to determine the crucial factors that govern the growth-induced instability patterning in curved petals and leaves, we develop an active thin shell model that can describe variable curvatures and spontaneous growth, within the framework of general differential geometry based on curvilinear coordinates and hyperelastic deformation theory.
