Leveraging yield buckling to achieve ideal shock absorbers
Wenfeng Liu, Shahram Janbaz, David Dykstra +2
The ideal shock absorber combines high stiffness with high energy absorption whilst retaining structural integrity after impact and is scalable for industrial production. So far no…
Inverse design of multishape metamaterials
David M. J. Dykstra, Corentin Coulais
Multishape metamaterials exhibit more than one target shape change, e.g. the same metamaterial can have either a positive or negative Poisson's ratio. So far, multishape metamateri…
Buckling Metamaterials for Extreme Vibration Damping
David M. J. Dykstra, Coen Lenting, Alexandre Masurier +1
Damping mechanical resonances is a formidable challenge in an increasing number of applications. Many of the passive damping methods rely on using low stiffness dissipative element…
The Extreme Mechanics of Viscoelastic Metamaterials
David M. J. Dykstra, Shahram Janbaz, Corentin Coulais
Mechanical metamaterials made of flexible building blocks can exhibit a plethora of extreme mechanical responses, such as negative elastic constants, shape-changes, programmability…
Inverted and programmable Poynting effects in metamaterials
Aref Ghorbani, David Dykstra, Corentin Coulais +3
The Poynting effect generically manifests itself as the extension of the material in the direction perpendicular to an applied shear deformation (torsion) and is a material paramet…
Oligomodal mechanical metamaterials
Aleksi Bossart, David M. J. Dykstra, Jop van der Laan +1
Mechanical metamaterials are artifical composites that exhibit a wide range of advanced functionalities such as negative Poisson's ratio, shape-shifting, topological protection, mu…
Viscoelastic Metamaterials
David M. J. Dykstra, Joris Busink, Bernard Ennis +1
Mechanical metamaterials are artificial composites with tunable advanced mechanical properties. Particularly interesting types of mechanical metamaterials are flexible metamaterial…
