Coupling of a magnetic field with instability

Submitted by Joshua on

A bistable curved beam with magnetic torque-driven actuation has the potential for fast and untethered reconfiguration of metamaterials. However, no modeling method of a bistable curved beam whose instability is coupled with an external magnetic field for the design of active metamaterials. A bistable curved beam's second mode (S-shape) generation is essential for a multimodal and multistep reconfiguration of metamaterials, which was not explored before.

Crack problems in A380 and BOEING 787

A point in which I may contribute from my oint of view is the crack problrem because of asymmetric bending

or because of the "off axis" bending. It is a problem in which I am working with Professor Sideridis at this time in National Technical University of Athens.
