Multi-Instably Mechanical Systems for Computing-Storing Functions.

ABSTRACT: Computations based on mechanical systems exhibit unconventional environmental adaptability and interaction capabilities beyond electronical computing. In this research, the multi-instably mechanical systems are proposed to achieve the functions of scientific computing, logical operations, and data storage, i.e., solving fourth-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by ODE solvers, realizing logical operations by digital logic gates, and stably storing data by mechanical memories. The mechanical solvers obtain the special solutions for the fourth-order ODEs by determining the unknow factors in the general solution via capturing the deformation shapes of multi-instable beams, and the results are validated with the existed theoretical solutions with satisfactory agreements.
