Torsional deformation dominated buckling of serpentine structures to form three-dimensional architectures with ultra-low rigidity

Jianzhong Zhao et al.

Summary: The buckling of a single ribbon is the simplest type of instability in mechanics, and postbuckling has recently been used in 3D assembly techniques to create diverse 3D structures. Among these structures, 3D serpentine structures are notable for their low rigidity and high stretchability. An analytical model has been developed to reveal the mechanical behavior of these structures, showing that the postbuckling of serpentine structures follows similar rules as straight ribbons. Using an inverse design strategy, various structures can be formed from planar precursors without spatial-varying cross-sectional parameters. The application of this theoretical model to a multidirectional strain sensor demonstrates its practical utility.
