| Abstract Scope |
Due to the geometric complexity, and because of their snapping behavior, smooth tape-spring are well suited for potential applications in architected materials; specially for energy absorption and impact protection. Inspired by previous work done on tape-spring and some of our previous work on the telson of the mantis shrimps, the radula of chitons and some plant leaves, we analyze the mechanical behavior of a new family of bioinspired tape-springs. In this talk, I am going to present some of our recent advances understanding the addition of geometrical features to improve the mechanical properties of these materials. This includes computational modeling and experiments, and some initial investigation on the application of machine learning. |
