Mechanical metamaterials are engineered materials with unconventional mechanical
behavior that originates from artificially programmed microstructures along with intrinsic …

Material properties can be tailored through modification of their geometry or architecture.
With this concept, a lot of smart materials, metamaterials, and smart structures have been …

In this work, we show through the use of experiments validated by computer simulations the
potential of a novel accordion-like magneto-mechanical metamaterial to change its linear …

In this paper, we propose a new type of continuum robot, referred to as a magnetic
concentric tube robot (M-CTR), for performing minimally invasive surgery in narrow and …

This review of the properties of flexible magnetic filaments covers the problems of their
buckling under the action of a magnetic field. The dependence of the buckling on the …

The development of various branches of modern natural sciences is closely related to the
theoretical and applied problems of interaction between different media and fields …

Elastic filaments driven out of equilibrium display complex phenomena that involve periodic
changes in their shape. Here, the periodic deformation dynamics of semiflexible colloidal …

Magnetic continuum robots (m-CR) have grown interest in several applicative contexts that
take benefits from their high flexibility and remote control. When submitted to external …

This work investigates a model design for lightweight, architected material inclusions that
cultivate significant impact energy dissipation in structures. The inclusions are sustained …

We derive a model for the finite motion of a fibre-reinforced magneto-elastic rod. The
reinforcing particles are assumed weakly and uniformly magnetized, rigid and firmly …
