Stress focusing and damage protection in topological Maxwell metamaterials
Caleb Widstrand, Chen Hu, Xiaoming Mao +2
Advances in the field of topological mechanics have highlighted a number of special mechanical properties of Maxwell lattices, including the ability to focus zero-energy floppy mod…
Soft mechanical metamaterials with transformable topology protected by stress caching
Jason Christopher Jolly, Binjie Jin, Lishuai Jin +6
Maxwell lattice metamaterials possess a rich phase space with distinct topological states featuring mechanically polarized edge behaviors and strongly asymmetric acoustic responses…
Universal Continuum Theory for Topological Edge Soft Modes
Kai Sun, Xiaoming Mao
Topological edge zero modes and states of self stress have been intensively studied in discrete lattices at the Maxwell point, offering robust properties concerning surface and int…
Edge Modes and Asymmetric Wave Transport in Topological Lattices: Experimental Characterization at Finite Frequencies
Jihong Ma, Di Zhou, Kai Sun +2
Although topological mechanical metamaterials have been extensively studied from a theoretical perspective, their experimental characterization has been lagging. To address this sh…
