Snap-induced morphing: From a single bistable shell to the origin of shape bifurcation in interacting shells

Mingchao Liu et al.

Summary: The bistability of embedded elements provides a natural way to introduce reprogrammability to elastic meta-materials. The soft morphable sheet, with embedded bistable elements, allows programming of its state by snapping particular elements up or down, resulting in different overall shapes. However, the tendency for deformations induced by multiple elastic elements to cause large global shape bifurcations has limited the utilization of this programmability. This study investigates the cause of shape bifurcation in the soft morphable sheet and explores the limitations and deformation structure of a single bistable element, showing that appropriate lattice design can delay the shape bifurcation.

Programming 3D curved mesosurfaces using microlattice designs

Xu Cheng et al.

Summary: We present a rational microlattice design that enables the transformation of 2D films into programmable 3D curved mesosurfaces through mechanically guided assembly. Shape programming is achieved through analytical modeling and a machine learning-based computational approach, determining the heterogeneous 2D microlattice patterns necessary for target 3D curved surfaces. We demonstrate the versatility of this method with various geometries and applications, such as a conformable cardiac electronic device, a stingray-like dual mode actuator, and a 3D electronic cell scaffold.

Stretch-Activated Reprogrammable Shape-Morphing Composite Elastomers

Jiali Tang et al.

Summary: The study introduces a new type of elastomer material that undergoes shape-morphing by local mismatches of elasticity and plasticity, transforming into complex 3D shapes after releasing stretch force. The shape-morphing is reversible, reprogrammable, and predictable, providing a versatile and sustainable platform for designing soft morphing devices.

Robotic surfaces with reversible, spatiotemporal control for shape morphing and object manipulation

Ke Liu et al.

Summary: Continuous and controlled shape morphing for soft machines is achieved through a soft, robotic surface with large, reprogrammable, and pliable shape morphing capabilities. The surface consists of active and passive networks for muscle-like functions, allowing for smooth transformation of 2D sheets into arbitrary 3D geometries. This approach provides sufficient mechanical stiffness and stability for manipulating objects beyond shape changes.
