Aiming at the problem of insufficient research on the action mechanism and stability calculation method of the top beam in the pile-anchor support structure, firstly the force and deformation model ...

Many animals use elastic-energy storage and recoil to produce extremely rapid motions. However, all previously studied systems use anatomical structures loaded with a single cycle of muscular ...

Shape-programmable structures have recently used origami to reconfigure using a smooth folding motion, but are hampered by slow speeds and complicated material assembly. Inspired by natural systems ...
