Interacting Hysterons with Asymptotically Small or Large Spans

Margot Teunisse, Martin van Hecke

Models of interacting hysteretic elements, called hysterons, capture the sequential response and complex memory effects in a wide range of complex systems and can guide the design…

Aging of amorphous materials under cyclic strain

Dor Shohat, Paul Baconnier, Itamar Procaccia +2

Amorphous materials driven away from equilibrium display a diverse repertoire of complex, history-dependent behaviors. One striking feature is a failure to return to equilibrium af…

Path-dependency and emergent computing under vectorial driving

Colin M. Meulblok, Amitesh Singh, Matthieu Labousse +1

The sequential response of frustrated materials-ranging from crumpled sheets and amorphous media to metamaterials-reveals their memory effects and emergent computational potential.…

Emergent Nonlocal Combinatorial Design Rules for Multimodal Metamaterials

Ryan van Mastrigt, Corentin Coulais, Martin van Hecke

Combinatorial mechanical metamaterials feature spatially textured soft modes that yield exotic and useful mechanical properties. While a single soft mode often can be rationally de…

Counting and Sequential Information Processing in Mechanical Metamaterials

Lennard J. Kwakernaak, Martin van Hecke

Materials with an irreversible response to cyclic driving exhibit an evolving internal state which, in principle, encodes information on the driving history. Here we realize irreve…

Sequential Snapping and Pathways in a Mechanical Metamaterial

Jiangnan Ding, Martin van Hecke

Materials which feature bistable elements, hysterons, exhibit memory effects. Often these hysterons are difficult to observe or control directly. Here we introduce a mechanical met…
