PyKirigami: An interactive Python simulator for kirigami metamaterials
Qinghai Jiang, Gary P. T. Choi
近年来,kirigami的概念被用于创建各种科技应用的可部署结构。 虽然对kirigami超材料的设计进行了广泛的研究,但较少探索部署和形状变换过程的模拟。 在这项工作中,我们开发了PyKirigami,这是一种高效的基于Python的开源计算工具,用于kirigami超材料的部署模拟。 特别是,我们的工具能够模拟具有不同几何,拓扑和物理特性的多种kirigami超材料的二维和三维部署。 该工具还具有高度的交互性和可定制性,允许用户在不同的环境设置和材料性能下对kirigami结构进行部署模拟。 总之,我们的工作为形状变形机械超材料的建模和设计铺平了道路。
In recent years, the concept of kirigami has been used in creating deployable structures for various scientific and technological applications. While the design of kirigami metamaterials has been widely studied, the simulation of the deployment and shape transformation process is less explored. In this work, we develop PyKirigami, an efficient Python-based open-source computational tool for the deployment simulation of kirigami metamaterials. In particular, our tool is capable of simulating both...
