Stress control in non-ideal topological Maxwell lattices via geometry
Harry Liu, Siddhartha Sarkar, A. Nafis Arafat +3
Topological mechanical metamaterials have demonstrated exotic and robust mechanical properties which led to promising engineering applications. One of such properties is the focusi…
Omnidirectional domain wall modes protected by fragile topological states
Pegah Azizi, Siddhartha Sarkar, Kai Sun +1
So-called fragile topological states of matter challenge our conventional notion of topology by lacking the robustness typically associated with topological protection, thereby dis…
Robustness of stress focusing in soft lattices under topology-switching deformation
Caleb Widstrand, Xiaoming Mao, Stefano Gonella
Recent developments in topological mechanics have demonstrated the ability of Maxwell lattices to effectively focus stress along domain walls between differently polarized domains.…
Cell augmentation framework for topological lattices
Mohammad Charara, Stefano Gonella
Maxwell lattices are characterized by an equal number of degrees of freedom and constraints. A subset of them, dubbed topological lattices, are capable of localizing stress and def…
