Soft Metamaterials: Adaptation and Intelligence
Colin Scheibner, Michel Fruchart, Vincenzo Vitelli
We provide a perspective on soft metamaterials and biomatter with a special emphasis on future research directions at the interface between material intelligence and adaptation.
Topological modes bound to dislocations in mechanical metamaterials
Jayson Paulose, Bryan Gin-ge Chen, Vincenzo Vitelli
Mechanical metamaterials are artificial structures with unusual properties, such as negative Poisson ratio, bistability or tunable vibrational properties, that originate in the geo…
Nonlinear conduction via solitons in a topological mechanical insulator
Bryan Gin-ge Chen, Nitin Upadhyaya, Vincenzo Vitelli
Networks of rigid bars connected by joints, termed linkages, provide a minimal framework to design robotic arms and mechanical metamaterials built out of folding components. Here,…
Geometric background charge: dislocations on capillary bridges
William Irvine, Vincenzo Vitelli
Recent experiments have shown that colloidal crystals confined to weakly curved capillary bridges introduce groups of dislocations organized into `pleats' as means to relieve the s…
