    • Magnetic field-induced asymmetric mechanical metamaterials 

      Zhang, Quan; Cherkasov, Andrei V.; Arora, Nitesh; Hu, Gengkai; Rudykh, Stephan (Elsevier, 2023)
      We propose a magnetic field-induced asymmetric mechanical metamaterial. The tunable metamaterial integrates hard-Magnetic Active Elastomers (hMAEs) into the microstructural design combining snap-through, bi-stability, and ...

    • Magneto-deformation and transverse elastic waves in hard-magnetic soft laminates 

      Zhang, Quan; Rudykh, Stephan (Elsevier, 2022-04-28)
      We study the magneto-mechanical behavior of periodic laminates made of hard-magnetic active elastomers (HMAEs). We formulate the amended free-energy function for HMAEs, and derive an explicit expression for the induced ...

    • Magnetoactive asymmetric mechanical metamaterial for tunable elastic cloaking 

      Zhang, Quan; Hu, Gengkai; Rudykh, Stephan (Elsevier, 2024-01-08)
      We propose a magnetic field-induced asymmetric mechanical metamaterial for tunable transformation-based elastic cloaking. The metamaterial is designed by integrating hard-Magnetic Active Elastomers (hMAEs) and combining ...

    • Nonlinear elastic vector solitons in hard-magnetic soft mechanical metamaterials 

      Zhang, Quan; Cherkasov, Andrei V.; Xie, Chen; Arora, Nitesh; Rudykh, Stephan (Elsevier, 2023-07-14)
      We propose a design of a metamaterial for magnetically tunable propagation of nonlinear vector solitary waves. The metamaterial consists of a periodic array of units of hard-magnetic inclusion embedded in a soft matrix. ...
