Geometry and Topology Seminar: Yaoye Hong, NC State, ECE Department, Programmable morphologies of kirigami sheets and applications.
SAS 4201Shape-shifting materials from 2D thin sheets to 3D shapes are attractive for broad applications in programmable machines and robots, functional biomedical devices, and four-dimensional printing. Kirigami, the art of paper cutting, has recently emerged as a promising approach for shape morphing structures and materials due to its new properties such as auxeticity, stretchability, conformability, multistability, and optical chirality. In this talk,…
