Bistable Auxetic System -- Programming synclastic curvature into 2D Patterning
… of auxetic materials and embeds this within a bi-stable mechanism. Starting from fundamental geometric research of linear hinges and out-of-plane rotation, geometrical constraints are identified thoroughly for the length-preserving transformation (Bottom-up process). Computation strategies to …

Effects of non-linear stiffness on performance of an energy harvesting device
… are proposed mainly by using a non-linear mechanism.These mechanisms are made up of a non-linear spring connected together with a mass and a linear viscous damper i.e. the energy harvesting component. The analysis of the fundamental performance limit of any non-linear device compared to …
