Optical micrograph of the liquid metal pattern deposited using an automated system and the corresponding two-dimensional surface morphology used to evaluate pattern quality.

Conjugate Mises transformation strain for six Pareto-optimal designs: (a) wave — high stress, (b) machined — high stress, (c) machined — high strain, (d) wave — mid-strain, (e) coil — high strain (half-symmetry cut), and (f) Belleville — high strain.

62-channel, 2-DOF continuous-scan acoustic measurement system.

Venn diagram describing multiphysical connections between fluid, structure, and erosion (material loss) mechanisms. Variables presented are surface shape, 1D rate of material loss normal to surface, stress, strain, pressure, velocity, and wall shear stress applied by the fluid.

Morphing UAVs allows for improved performance over changing range of environments and objectives.

Before and after the application of the conformal surface.

Flow chart illustrating the connection between AC circuit programming analysis for multifunctional topologies with liquid metal ink applied onto designed geometry for mechanical testing.
