Increasing the Bucking Capacity with Modal Geometric “Imperfections”

ce/papers
Abstract A recent design paradigm, named modal nudging, exploit geometric “imperfections” with negligible self‐weight change to nudge the baseline structure onto equilibrium paths of greater load‐carrying capacity. Indeed, not all imperfections are detrimental in buckling problems.

Numerical Study of CFRP-Strengthened Square RC Columns under Axial Compression with Initial Geometric Imperfections

Journal of Engineering
Reinforced concrete (RC) columns are the enablers of modern cities; their numerical modeling requires precise treatment of initial geometric imperfections and confinement effects to represent their structural behavior realistically. This study describes

Large‐Area Flat Optics Color Routing in Tilted Arrays of 2D Semiconductor Nanostripes

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
We develop a scalable flat optics platform exploiting self‐organised ion‐beam sputtering and maskless glancing‐angle deposition to fabricate centimetre‐scale arrays of tilted MoS2 nanostripes. The engineered geometry activates Rayleigh anomalies, guided modes, and Mie resonances, enabling highly directional color routing and enhanced light harvesting ...

Inverse‐Designed Superchiral Hot Spot in Dielectric Meta‐Cavity Toward Ultra‐Compact Enantioselective Detection

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Linearly polarized incident light with normal incidence creates enhanced optical chirality hotspots on the metasurface. Several orders of magnitude optical chirality enhancement offers a promising route toward highly sensitive, compact chiral spectroscopy.

Massively Degenerate Coherent Perfect Absorption in Gradient‐Index Fibers

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A coherent perfect absorber (CPA) normally operates for only one or very few spatial modes. The CPA proposed here uses a gradient‐index (GRIN) fiber to absorb hundreds of spatial modes at once, its self‐imaging property replacing the bulky free‐space degenerate cavity of earlier designs. An analytic criterion sets how much modal degeneracy is required,

Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.
