Textile hinges enable extreme properties of mechanical metamaterials
A. S. Meeussen, G. Bordiga, A. X. Chang +4
Mechanical metamaterials -- structures with unusual properties that emerge from their internal architecture -- that are designed to undergo large deformations typically exploit lar…
Response evolution of mechanical metamaterials under architectural transformations
Anne S. Meeussen, Erdal C. Oguz, Martin van Hecke +1
Architectural transformations play a key role in the evolution of complex systems, from design algorithms for metamaterials to flow and plasticity of disordered media. Here, we dev…
Topological defects produce exotic mechanics in complex metamaterials
Anne S. Meeussen, Erdal C. Oguz, Yair Shokef +1
Defects, and in particular topological defects, are architectural motifs that play a crucial role in natural materials. Here we provide a systematic strategy to introduce such defe…
Geared topological metamaterials with tunable mechanical stability
Anne S. Meeussen, Jayson Paulose, Vincenzo Vitelli
The classification of materials into insulators and conductors has been shaken up by the discovery of topological insulators that conduct robustly at the edge but not in the bulk.…
Selective buckling via states of self-stress in topological metamaterials
Jayson Paulose, Anne S. Meeussen, Vincenzo Vitelli
States of self-stress, tensions and compressions of structural elements that result in zero net forces, play an important role in determining the load-bearing ability of structures…
