Di Dato, Federico Lupo (author)Fluidic interfaces use liquids to sense, compute, and output a dynamic appearance or behavior in response to mechanical deformation inputs.<br/>Integrating logic and user-actuated control mechanisms in the interfaces can, in the future, enable to achieve more complex dynamic behaviors for designing interactive artifacts that are entirely analog...master thesis 2023

Amin, Shashank (author)Kirigami- the Japanese art of paper cutting – is used extensively as a design philosophy for stretchable and morphable structures. An array of cuts on a thin planar sheet creates a structure that can morph into a 3D pattern on applying an in-plane uniaxial load. This type of structure is called a kirigami metasurface. A subset of this type of...master thesis 2022

Houlder, Michael (author)Mechanical metamaterials are a new emerging class of materials which achieve properties outside the bounds of conventional materials. A metamaterial consists of a unit cell which is periodically repeated in space. In this study, a new metamaterial unit cell is proposed, derived from a class of space structures known as deployable masts. What...master thesis 2019
