Discontinuous Tension-Controlled Transition between Collective Actuations in Active Solids
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS(2023)
摘要
The recent finding of collective actuation in active solids-solids embedded with active units-is a new promise for the design of multifunctional materials with genuine autonomy, and a better understanding of dense biological systems. Here, we combine the experimental study of centimetric model active solids, the numerical study of an agent-based model, and theoretical arguments to reveal a new form of collective actuation and how mechanical tension can serve as a general mechanism for transitioning between different collective actuation regimes. The presence of hysteresis when varying tension back and forth highlights the nontrivial selectivity of collective actuations.
