Earthquakes cause catastrophic damage to buildings and loss of human life. Civil engineers across the globe design earthquake-resistant buildings to minimize this damage. Conventionally, the structures are designed to resist the…
Tensegrity structures are lightweight, can undergo large deformations, and have outstanding robustness capabilities. These unique properties inspired roboticists to investigate their use. However, the morphological design, control,…
This paper introduces the chain lattice, a hierarchical truss structure comprising two interpenetrating lattices. One lattice toughens the material and prevents catastrophic localized failure while the other lattice serves as a porous…
There is a surge of research interest in the field of tensegrity robotics. Robots developed under this paradigm provide many advantages and have distinguishing features in terms of structural compliance, dexterity, safety, and weight…
Diverting, and controlling, elastic vibrations impacting upon infrastructure is a major challenge for seismic hazard mitigation, and for the reduction of machine noise and vehicle vibration in the urban environment. Seismic metamaterials…
Most traditional robotic mechanisms feature inelastic joints that are unable to robustly handle large deformations and off-axis moments. As a result, the applied loads are transferred rigidly throughout the entire structure. The…
We propose that wave propagation through a class of mechanical metamaterials opens unprecedented avenues in seismic wave protection based on spectral properties of auxetic-like metamaterials. The elastic parameters of these metamaterials…
This paper investigates the dynamic properties of one, two and three-dimensional tensegrity-based periodic structures introduced in Rimoli and Pal, Comp. B, 2017, which are here termed as tensegrity beams, plates and solids, respectively.…
Compliant mechanisms utilise elastic deformation of their segments to transmit motion or force. The utility and behaviour of specific compliant mechanisms can be enhanced by introducing an engaging and disengaging ability with its elastic…
Supersymmetric vacua are protected from vacuum decay by energy positivity. No such argument is known for any non-supersymmetric vacua. In this paper, we try to extend to the latter a simpler argument based on calibrations, to at least…
We have developed a new method of an earthquake-resistant design to support conventional aseismic designs using acoustic metamaterials. We suggest a simple and practical method to reduce the amplitude of a seismic wave exponentially. Our…
The growing threats of uncertainties, anomalies, and cyberattacks on power grids are driving a critical need to advance situational awareness which allows system operators to form a complete and accurate picture of the present and future…

Dynamic state estimation (DSE) is becoming increasingly important for monitoring inverter-dominated power systems. Due to their cascading control structures, inverter-based resources (IBRs) exhibit multi-timescale dynamics, leading to stiff…
Flexible slender structures such as rods, ribbons, plates, and shells exhibit extreme nonlinear responses bending, twisting, buckling, wrinkling, and self contact, that defy conventional simulation frameworks. Discrete Differential Geometry…
