Combinatorial Design of Floppy Modes and Frustrated Loops in Metamaterials
Wenfeng Liu, Tomer A. Sigalov, Corentin Coulais +1
Metamaterials are a promising platform for a range of applications, from shock absorption to mechanical computing. These functionalities typically rely on floppy modes or mechanica…
Tuning the buckling sequences of metamaterials using plasticity
Wenfeng Liu, Bernard Ennis, Corentin Coulais
Material nonlinearities such as hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, and plasticity have recently emerged as design paradigms for metamaterials based on buckling. These metamaterials…
Leveraging yield buckling to achieve ideal shock absorbers
Wenfeng Liu, Shahram Janbaz, David Dykstra +2
The ideal shock absorber combines high stiffness with high energy absorption whilst retaining structural integrity after impact and is scalable for industrial production. So far no…
