Abstract
Compliant mechanisms have captured the attention of many researchers in recent years, with ever-expanding mechanical and physical behaviors. Moreover, the fabrication of such mechanisms has been greatly simplified with the enabling technology of 3D printing.
Drawing from existing lattice construction abilities, in this work we explore the abilities of constructing whole freeform lattices, where the tiles in these lattices are compliant mechanisms, possibly heterogeneous. Specifically, herein we focus on bi-stable and multi-stable tiles, or tiles with two or more mechanical stable states. The introduced approach will be exemplified on a variety of 2D and 3D lattices, fabricated with the aid of additive manufacturing.
期刊介绍:
Graphical Models is recognized internationally as a highly rated, top tier journal and is focused on the creation, geometric processing, animation, and visualization of graphical models and on their applications in engineering, science, culture, and entertainment. GMOD provides its readers with thoroughly reviewed and carefully selected papers that disseminate exciting innovations, that teach rigorous theoretical foundations, that propose robust and efficient solutions, or that describe ambitious systems or applications in a variety of topics.
We invite papers in five categories: research (contributions of novel theoretical or practical approaches or solutions), survey (opinionated views of the state-of-the-art and challenges in a specific topic), system (the architecture and implementation details of an innovative architecture for a complete system that supports model/animation design, acquisition, analysis, visualization?), application (description of a novel application of know techniques and evaluation of its impact), or lecture (an elegant and inspiring perspective on previously published results that clarifies them and teaches them in a new way).
GMOD offers its authors an accelerated review, feedback from experts in the field, immediate online publication of accepted papers, no restriction on color and length (when justified by the content) in the online version, and a broad promotion of published papers. A prestigious group of editors selected from among the premier international researchers in their fields oversees the review process.
