- PublicationBand Gap Estimation of D-LEGO Meta-structures Using FRF-Based Substructuring and Bloch Wave Theory(01-01-2023)
;Gosavi, Hrishikesh S.; Malladi, Vijaya V.N.SriramPeriodic structures are found to exhibit band gaps which are frequency bandwidths where structural vibrations are absorbed. In this paper, meta-structures are built by dynamically linking oscillators in a periodic pattern, which are referred to as dynamically linked element grade oscillators or D-LEGOs. The location of the band gaps is numerically determined for a one-dimensional D-LEGO. The unit cell for the D-LEGO structure is considered to be made up of two longitudinal bar elements of different properties. For such a structure, the frequency response functions (FRFs) of a single unit cell are used to estimate the band gaps of a periodic-lattice structure by adapting the Bloch wave theory. Alternatively, the FRF of the multi-unit cell is determined using FRF-based substructuring (FBS) approach. The band gaps resulting from these two approaches are compared and verified. - PublicationInhomogeneous folding modes in infinite lattices of rigid triangulated miura-ori(01-01-2021)
;Lahiri, AnandaroopInfinite two-dimensional tessellations of triangulated Miura-ori with rigid panels are known to exhibit only homogeneous modes of folding, thereby limiting their usefulness in engineering applications. In this work, we show that the corresponding one-dimensional lattices are less restricted and can exhibit inhomogeneous folding modes of deformation. We demonstrate this by looking at the modes in the null space of Bloch-reduced compatibility matrix in a nodal-displacement-based formulation, that is typically employed in the context of origami structural analysis. We compute the deformation modes that vary non-uniformly across the lattice depending on their wavelength, and identify the minimal number of modes that can represent such deformations. We then present a more efficient formulation based on folding-angles to study the deformation modes of infinite one-dimensional rigid triangulated origami lattices. We derive the degrees of freedom of the tessellations in terms of the minimal number of folding-angles that are required to capture the periodic inhomogeneous deformations of the infinite lattices. Within this formulation, we provide the framework to analytically derive the stiffness matrix of the lattice. Finally, we verify the new formulation by comparing the results with the bar-and-hinge model that is based on nodal-displacements. The observations from our work could have implications for the use of rigid panel origami lattices as acoustic metamaterials. - PublicationKinematics of the morph origami pattern and its hybrid states(01-01-2020)
; ;Liu, KePaulino, Glaucio H.A new degree-four vertex origami, called the Morph pattern, has been recently proposed by the authors (Pratapa, Liu, Paulino, Phy. Rev. Lett. 2019), which exhibits interesting properties such as extreme tunability of Poisson's ratio from negative infinity to positive infinity, and an ability to transform into hybrid states through rigid origami kinematics. We look at the geometry of the Morph unit cell that can exist in two characteristic modes differing in the mountain/valley assignment of the degree-four vertex and then assemble the unit cells to form complex tessellations that are inter-transformable and exhibit contrasting properties. We present alternative and detailed descriptions to (i) understand how the Morph pattern can smoothly transform across all its configuration states, (ii) characterize the configuration space of the Morph pattern with distinguishing paths for different sets of hybrid states, and (Hi) derive the condition for Poisson's ratio switching and explain the mode-locking phenomenon in the Morph pattern when subjected to in-plane deformation as a result of the inter-play between local and global kinematics.
