Scale-Rich Network-Based Metamaterials
Csaba Both, Andrew Yen-Jong Chen, Ting-Ting Gao +4
Materials, at their essence, are networks defined by homogeneity: uniform bonds, fixed thicknesses, and discrete length scales. Mechanical metamaterials, while representing structu…
Entanglement-driven responses through multiscale 3D-printed knits
Bradley Cline, Catherine Bai, Sehui Jeong +5
For their resilience and toughness, filamentous entanglements are ubiquitous in both natural and engineered systems across length scales, from polymer-chain- to collagen-networks a…
Design framework for programmable three-dimensional woven metamaterials
Molly Carton, James Utama Surjadi, Bastien F. G. Aymon +1
Mechanical metamaterials have continued to offer unprecedented tunability in mechanical properties, but most designs to date have prioritized attaining high stiffness and strength…
Double-network-inspired mechanical metamaterials
James Utama Surjadi, Bastien F. G. Aymon, Molly Carton +1
Mechanical metamaterials are renowned for their ability to achieve high stiffness and strength at low densities, often at the expense of low ductility and stretchability-a persiste…
