...Zheng Zhang; Fuhua Ye; Yuhang Dong; Fan Zhang; Zhichao Fan Arch and serpentine structures are two fundamental structural forms with significant applications in various fields. When subjected to compressive loading at both ends, these structures undergo flexural-torsional post-buckling, resulting...

...Jianzhong Zhao Serpentine structures are of growing interest due to its unique mechanical and physical properties for applications in stretchable electronics, mechanical sensing, and biomedical devices. Mechanics-guided, deterministic three-dimensional (3D) assembly provides routes to form...

..., the lateral-torsional buckling is analytically studied for a simplified S-shaped serpentine structure that consists of five straight components rigidly connected at point joints. Simple analytic scaling laws between the dimensionless critical buckling load and the aspect ratio of the serpentine structure...
