Adaptive stiffness in lattice metastructures through tensile-buckling inspired topology morphing (2023)
Journal Article
Sundararaman, V., McHale, C., O'Donnell, M. P., Chenchiah, I. V., & Weaver, P. M. (2024). Adaptive stiffness in lattice metastructures through tensile-buckling inspired topology morphing. International Journal of Solids and Structures, 289, Article 112637. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsolstr.2023.112637

This paper explores the use of simultaneous tensile buckling of unit cells to induce a transformation in lattice topology. Under tension, unit cells undergo passive transformation from a rectangle-like to a triangle-/pentagon-like topology, with an a...

Stiffness tailoring in sinusoidal lattice structures through passive topology morphing using contact connections (2023)
Journal Article
Sundararaman, V., O'Donnell, M. P., Chenchiah, I. V., Clancy, G., & Weaver, P. M. (2023). Stiffness tailoring in sinusoidal lattice structures through passive topology morphing using contact connections. Materials and Design, 226, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2023.111649

Structures with adaptive stiffness characteristics present an opportunity to meet competing design requirements, thus achieving greater efficiency by the reconfiguration of their topology. Here, the potential of using changes in the topology of plana... Read More about Stiffness tailoring in sinusoidal lattice structures through passive topology morphing using contact connections.
