Multiscale tailoring of helical lattice systems for bespoke thermoelasticity (2019)
Journal Article
O’Donnell, M. P., Stacey, J. P., Chenchiah, I. V., & Pirrera, A. (2019). Multiscale tailoring of helical lattice systems for bespoke thermoelasticity. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 133, 103704. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2019.103704

© 2019 (Meta-)Materials, e.g. functional or architectured materials that change shape in response to external stimuli, often do so by exploiting solid–solid phase transitions or concerted elastic deformations. For the resulting system to be effective... Read More about Multiscale tailoring of helical lattice systems for bespoke thermoelasticity.

This paper explores the ability to tailor the mechanical properties of composite compliant shell mechanisms, by exploiting the thermal prestress introduced during the composite laminate cure. An extension of an analytical tape spring model with compo... Read More about Thermal prestress in composite compliant shell mechanisms.
