Abstract: The earthquakes in Chile 2010 and New Zealand 2011 demonstrated the significance of the out-of-plane buckling failure of reinforced concrete structural walls. Past studies have demonstrated that when the out-of-plane deformation is enough to cause… read more here.

Abstract: We report a numerical method to control the swimming direction by exploiting buckling instability in uniflagellar bacteria and bio-inspired soft robots. Our model system is comprised of a spherical rigid head and a helical elastic… read more here.

Abstract: Surface buckling (wrinkling) driven by mechanical instability is commonly observed in thin-film structures with a compliant substrate. The resulting undulation, while sometimes undesirable, has been increasingly exploited to enhance mechanical and/or functional performances of many… read more here.
