Snap buckling of bistable beams under combined mechanical and magnetic loading

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Tomohiko Sano, Arefeh Abbasi

We investigate the mechanics of bistable, hard-magnetic, elastic beams, combining experiments, finite-element modelling (FEM) and a reduced-order theory. The beam is made of a hard magneto-rheological elastomer, comprising two segments with antiparallel ma ...

A geometrically exact model for thin magneto-elastic shells

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Matteo Pezzulla, Dong Yan

We develop a reduced model for hard-magnetic, thin, linear-elastic shells that can be actuated through an external magnetic field, with geometrically exact strain measures. Assuming a reduced kinematics based on the Kirchhoff-Love assumption, we derive a r ...
