Magnetically Responsive Microprintable Soft Nanocomposites with Tunable Nanoparticle Loading
Rachel M. Sun, Andrew Y. Chen, Yiming Ji +3
Magnetic remote actuation of soft materials is attractive for applications such as transforming materials and medical robots. However, due to manufacturing limitations, microscale…
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…
Data-Efficient Discovery of Hyperelastic TPMS Metamaterials with Extreme Energy Dissipation
Maxine Perroni-Scharf, Zachary Ferguson, Thomas Butrille +2
Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) are a class of metamaterials with a variety of applications and well-known primitive morphologies. We present a new method for discovering n…
Experiment-informed finite-strain inverse design of spinodal metamaterials
Prakash Thakolkaran, Michael A. Espinal, Somayajulu Dhulipala +2
Spinodal metamaterials, with architectures inspired by natural phase-separation processes, have presented a significant alternative to periodic and symmetric morphologies when desi…
