Leveraging the Snap Buckling of Bistable Magnetic Shells to Design a Refreshable Braille Dot

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Bastien Freddy Gustave Aymon, Arefeh Abbasi, Tian Chen

A design concept is proposed for the building block, a dot, of programmable braille readers utilizing bistable shell buckling, magnetic actuation, and pneumatic loading. The design process is guided by Finite Element simulations, which are initially valida ...

BamX: Rethinking Deployability in Architecture through Weaving

Mark Pauly, Yingying Ren, Tian Chen, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo, Stefana Parascho

Deployable gridshells are a class of planar-to-spatial structures that achievea 3D curved geometry by inducing bending on a flat grid of elastic beams. However, theslender nature of these beams often conflicts with the structure’s load-bearing capacity.To ...

Indentation and stability of woven domes

Célestin Vallat, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Tomohiko Sano, Tian Chen, Samuel Jean Bernard Poincloux

Discrete domes are doubly curved structures comprising a network of beam-like elements. We study the mechanics of discrete domes made of ribbons woven in a pentagonal triaxial pattern. Experiments and finite element simulations are performed to characteriz ...
