Computer model handles changing-stiffness plates, but distorted meshes trip some versions

A five-case computational study tested a high-order virtual element framework for variable-stiffness plates with complex shapes. VC-VEM variants and standard self-stabilized VEM maintained good accuracy when fiber orientation varied, while standard stabilized VEM lost accuracy as approximation order increased and produced incorrect buckling loads or mode shapes in some distorted-mesh cases.

Preprint reports thick origami structures that fold and carry static loads

A new arXiv preprint describes a fabrication and optimization framework for thick, non-manifold origami metamaterials. The work combines hinged modules, mechanical fasteners and graph-based topology optimization, then tests the designs in small and large physical prototypes. The demonstrations show feasibility, but they do not establish maximum capacity, durability or superiority over other ways.
