In this paper, quasi-static in-plane crushing tests were carried out to investigate the crushing behavior and energy absorption of buckling induced meta-lattice structures (BIMSs) with different central angles made of plastic iron material DT3 and formed by wire cutting technique. Three crushing patterns were revealed and analyzed. The test results clearly show that the initial peak force (IPF), the crushing force efficiency (CFE), the specific energy absorption (SEA) and the mean crushing force (MCF) can be substantially improved by introducing buckling pattern into the straight-walled lattice structure. The MCF of the BIMS was consistently predicted based on the simplified super folding element (SSFE) and the flattening element.展开更多

We show that the equilibrium curves of the system exhibit a limit load when the induced stiffness parameter gets bigger than a threshold. This limit load increases when the stiffness parameter is increasing and it is related to a possible localized path in the post-buckling domain. Such a change in the maximum load may be very desirable from a structural stand point.展开更多

In this study, we constructed an origami-inspired tubular structure with controlled mechanical buckling based on optically induced electrokinetics(OEK). By inducing a stress gradient in the thickness, a tubular structure can be formed from a poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate(PEGDA) hydrogel film of various shapes that have been custom fabricated. To achieve an ideal three-dimensional(3D) structure, the amplitude of the tubular structure can be controlled by adjusting the aspect ratios or polymerization time. Furthermore, the tubular structure can be manipulated for the collection and transportation of microspheres.In summary, we provide an effective method for designing 3D structures at the micro-nano scale. This forming method holds great potential for achieving various functions in tissue engineering, drug packaging, and transportation in the future.展开更多
