• Analytical methods for the pyramidal truss metamaterial 

    Reddy, Adam Walmer (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
    Mechanical metamaterials are a subclass of metamaterials which exhibit exotic effective mechanical proper- ties. These may include a negative bulk modulus, a negative Poisson's ratio, or a negative mass density. Subse- ...
  • Design and analysis of origami-inspired structures 

    Muench, Nolan (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
    This work focuses on creating novel structures by combining elements of common origami patterns. Multiple different types of physical and computer models are implemented to represent and analyze the structures. These ...
