Multistability by Design in Complex Triangular Mechanical Metamaterials
Chaviva Sirote-Katz, Yair Shokef
We introduce frustrated triangular networks that mix two different beam thicknesses. The two thicknesses separate the energetic costs of second-order buckling and angular deformati…
Defect Positioning in Combinatorial Metamaterials
Chaviva Sirote-Katz, Yotam M. Y. Feldman, Guy Cohen +2
Combinatorial mechanical metamaterials are made of anisotropic, flexible blocks, such that multiple metamaterials may be constructed using a single block type, and the system's res…
Breaking Mechanical Holography in Combinatorial Metamaterials
Chaviva Sirote-Katz, Ofri Palti, Naomi Spiro +2
Combinatorial mechanical metamaterials are made of anisotropic, flexible blocks, such that multiple metamaterials may be constructed using a single block type, and the system's res…
Bloch Oscillations, Landau-Zener Transition, and Topological Phase Evolution in a Pendula Array
Izhar Neder, Chaviva Sirote, Meital Geva +3
We experimentally and theoretically study the dynamics of a one-dimensional array of pendula with a mild spatial gradient in their self-frequency and where neighboring pendula are…
Emergent Disorder and Mechanical Memory in Periodic Metamaterials
Chaviva Sirote-Katz, Dor Shohat, Carl Merrigan +3
Ordered mechanical systems typically have one or only a few stable rest configurations, and hence are not considered useful for encoding memory. Multistable and history-dependent r…
