Abstract

In this work, we construct an effective continuum model for architected sheets that are composed of bulky tiles connected by slender elastic joints. Due to their mesostructure, these sheets feature quasi-mechanisms — low-energy local kinematic modes that are strongly favored over other deformations. In sheets with non-uniform mesostructure, kinematic incompatibilities arise between neighboring regions, causing out-of-plane buckling. The effective continuum model is based on a geometric analysis of the sheets’ unit cells and their energetically favorable modes of deformation. Its major feature is the construction of a strain energy that penalizes deviations from these preferred modes of deformation. The effect of non-periodicity is entirely described through the use of spatially varying geometric parameters in the model. Our simulations capture the out-of-plane buckling that occurs in non-periodic specimens and show good agreement with experiments. While we only consider one class of quasi-mechanisms, our modeling approach could be applied to a diverse set of shape-morphing systems that are of interest to the mechanics community.
