Call For Papers: Emerging Issues in Spatial Reasoning and Engineering Design
Although spatial skills are recognized as a critical ability for designers, research exploring the connection between spatial proficiency and design ability (novice vs. expert) has been comparatively limited. This lack of understanding affects our ability to improve spatial reasoning and develop effective interventions to support designers. While it may be potential evidence to associate design […]
Rigid-Compliant Hybrid Cellular Expansion Mechanisms With Motion Amplification and Superposition

Authors: Tingwei Wang, Jingjun Yu, and Hongzhe Zhao The thermally driven expansion mechanism with high intra-unit efficiency and low inter-unit coupling as the functional cell of metamaterials provides a novel and promising solution for heat dissipation. In this paper, the rigid-compliant hybrid cellular expansion mechanisms with motion amplification and superposition are proposed. Compared with existing […]
