Dynamics of self-dual kagome metamaterials and the emergence of fragile topology
Pegah Azizi, Siddhartha Sarkar, Kai Sun +1
Recent years have seen the discovery of systems featuring fragile topological states. These states of matter lack certain protection attributes typically associated with topology a…
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…
Soft mechanical metamaterials with transformable topology protected by stress caching
Jason Christopher Jolly, Binjie Jin, Lishuai Jin +6
Maxwell lattice metamaterials possess a rich phase space with distinct topological states featuring mechanically polarized edge behaviors and strongly asymmetric acoustic responses…
Omnimodal topological polarization of bilayer networks: analysis in the Maxwell limit and experiments on a 3D-printed prototype
Mohammad Charara, James McInerney, Kai Sun +2
Periodic networks on the verge of mechanical instability, called Maxwell lattices, are known to exhibit zero-frequency modes localized to their boundaries. Topologically polarized…
