Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Continuous heart
monitoring is an effective approach in detecting irregular heartbeats and providing early …

Cardiac implantable devices are effective both as methods of controlling irregular heartbeats
in people with heart rhythm disorders and as interventional therapy for cardiac diseases …

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 …

Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and PaLM, are able to perform
sophisticated text comprehension and generation tasks with little or no training. Alongside …

Mechanical bistable structures have two stable equilibria and can transit between them
under external stimuli. Due to their unique behaviors such as snap-through and substantial …

Bistable beams with prebuckled sinusoidal shape are prominently constructed into
mechanical metamaterial unit cells with bi-and multi-stability. While the effects of boundary …

We combine discrete differential geometry (DDG)-based models and desktop experiments to
study supercritical pitchfork bifurcation of a pre-compressed elastic plate under lateral end …

Biomedical self‐sustainable energy generation represents a new frontier of power solution
for implantable biomedical devices (IMDs), such as cardiac pacemakers. However, almost …

Discrete domes are doubly curved structures comprising a network of beam-like elements.
We study the mechanics of discrete domes made of ribbons woven in a pentagonal triaxial …

Based on the geometrically nonlinear Kirchhoff rod theory, the snap-through behaviors of an
asymmetrically clamped ribbon under midpoint loadings are explored through a numerical …
