Stress focusing and damage protection in topological Maxwell metamaterials
Caleb Widstrand, Chen Hu, Xiaoming Mao +2
Advances in the field of topological mechanics have highlighted a number of special mechanical properties of Maxwell lattices, including the ability to focus zero-energy floppy mod…
Bandgap tuning in kerfed metastrips under extreme deformation
Caleb Widstrand, Negar Kalantar, Stefano Gonella
The process of kerfing enables planar structures with the ability to undergo dramatic out-of-plane deformation in response to static loads. Starting from flat and stiff sheets, ker…
Tunable bandgaps and symmetry breaking in magneto-mechanical metastructures inspired by multi-layer 2D materials
Kuan Zhang, Weijian Jiao, Stefano Gonella
In this Letter, we introduce a paradigm to realize magneto-mechanical metastructures inspired by multi-layer 2D materials, such as graphene bilayers. The metastructures are intende…
Soft topological lattice wheels
William Zunker, Stefano Gonella
We investigate the large deformation and extreme load-management capabilities of a soft topologically polarized kagome lattice mapped to a cylindrical domain through the problem of…
Nonlinear harmonic generation in two-dimensional lattices of repulsive magnets
Weijian Jiao, Stefano Gonella
In this Letter, we provide experimental evidence of nonlinear wave propagation in a triangular lattice of repulsive magnets supported by an elastic foundation of thin pillars and w…
Symmetry of the phonon landscape across the duality boundary of twisted kagomes lattices
Stefano Gonella
In this work, we investigate the symmetry of the phonon landscape of twisted kagome lattices across their duality boundary. The study is inspired by recent work by Fruchart et al.…
