Instabilities in Elastic and Magneto-Elastic Beams and Shells: from Shell Buckling to the Design of a Programmable Braille Reader
In this thesis, we conduct a comprehensive investigation into structural instabilities of both elastic and magneto-elastic beams and shells, resulting in a creative proposal to design a programmable braille reader. Methodologically, we combine numerical si ...
EPFL2024Leveraging the Snap Buckling of Bistable Magnetic Shells to Design a Refreshable Braille Dot
Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Tian Chen, Arefeh Abbasi, Bastien Freddy Gustave Aymon
A design concept is proposed for the building block, a dot, of programmable braille readers utilizing bistable shell buckling, magnetic actuation, and pneumatic loading. The design process is guided by Finite Element simulations, which are initially valida ...
