Tensional acoustomechanical soft metamaterials
We create acoustomechanical soft metamaterials whose response to uniaxial tensile stressing can be easily tailored by programming acoustic wave inputs, resulting in force versus stretch curves that exhibit distinct monotonic, s-shape, plateau and non-monotonic snapping behaviors. We theoretically demonstrate this unique metamaterial by considering a thin soft material sheet impinged by two coun...
متن کامل3D soft metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio.
Buckling is exploited to design a new class of three-dimensional metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio. A library of auxetic building blocks is identified and procedures are defined to guide their selection and assembly. The auxetic properties of these materials are demonstrated both through experiments and finite element simulations and exhibit excellent qualitative and quantitative agre...
متن کاملModeling of Wave Propagation through Soft Electrically Tunable Metamaterials
In this paper, we present our numerical simulation capability, developed within the Abaqus/Standard environment, for modeling steady-state wave propagation through soft dielectric elastomer composites. Specifically, we will discuss (a) a nonlinear user-element subroutine (UEL) to simulate the coupled electric-displacement response of these soft materials, (b) a user MPC subroutine to enforce co...
متن کاملTensional homeostasis and the malignant phenotype.
Tumors are stiffer than normal tissue, and tumors have altered integrins. Because integrins are mechanotransducers that regulate cell fate, we asked whether tissue stiffness could promote malignant behavior by modulating integrins. We found that tumors are rigid because they have a stiff stroma and elevated Rho-dependent cytoskeletal tension that drives focal adhesions, disrupts adherens juncti...
متن کاملTensional homeostasis in endothelial cells is a multicellular phenomenon.
Mammalian cells of various types exhibit the remarkable ability to adapt to externally applied mechanical stresses and strains. Because of this adaptation, cells can maintain their endogenous mechanical tension at a preferred (homeostatic) level, which is essential for normal physiological functions of cells and tissues and provides protection against various diseases, including atherosclerosis...
