Re-programmable self-assembly of magnetic lattices
Audrey A. Watkins, Osama R. Bilal
Simple local interactions can cause primitive building blocks to self-assemble into complex and functional patterns. However, even for a small number of blocks, there exist a vast…
Harnessing re-programmable phase transitions to control the propagation of sound waves
Audrey A. Watkins, Austin Eichelberg, Osama R. Bilal
Metamaterials can enable peculiar static and dynamic behavior (such as negative effective mass density, dynamical stiffness, and Poisson's ratio) due to their geometry rather than…
Exploiting Localized Transition Waves to Tune Sound Propagation in Soft Materials
Audrey A. Watkins, Austin Eichelberg, Osama R. Bilal
Programmable materials hold great potential for many applications such as deployable structures, soft robotics, and wave control, however, the presence of instability and disorder…
Intrinsically polar elastic metamaterials
Osama R. Bilal, Roman Süsstrunk, Chiara Daraio +1
The ability to design and fabricate materials with tailored mechanical properties, combined with immunity to damage, is a frontier of materials engineering. For example, materials…
