| Abstract | This Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award will be used to study the mechanics of interlocking granular materials that consist of hard, interlocking elements assembled into soft, deformable materials, and their ability to enable shape-shifting structures. Soft materials have been essential to innovations in tissue engineering, soft robotics, stretchable electronics, among many other applications; however, their mechanical behavior is hard to tune and scaling them for nano- to m |
