Abstract Mary Frecker

A structural concept based upon the principles of adaptive morphing cells
is presented whereby controlled bistability from a lat coniguration into a
textured arrangement is shown. The material consists of multiple cells
made from silicone rubber with locally reinforced regions based upon
kirigami principles. On pneumatic actuation these cells fold or unfold James Hubbard
based on the fold lines created by the interaction of the geometry with the University of Maryland
reinforced regions. Each cell is able to maintain its shape in either a
retracted or deployed state, without the aid of mechanisms or sustained
actuation, due to the existence of structural bistability. Mathematical
quantiication of the surface texture is introduced, based on out-of-plane
deviations of a deployed structure compared to a reference plane. Abstract
Additionally, inite element (FE) analysis is employed to characterize the
geometry and stability of an individual cell during actuation and retraction. A contact-aided compliant mechanism (CCM) called a compliant spine (CS)
