Field responsive mechanical metamaterials. [PDF]
Science Advances, 2018 Typically, mechanical metamaterial properties are programmed and set when the architecture is designed and constructed, and do not change in response to shifting environmental conditions or application requirements.

Topological mechanics of gyroscopic metamaterials [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Topological mechanical metamaterials are artificial structures whose unusual properties are protected very much like their electronic and optical counterparts.

Reports on Progress in Physics, 2023 Abstract Mechanical metamaterials, also known as architected materials, are rationally designed composites, aiming at elastic behaviors and effective mechanical properties beyond (‘meta’) those of their individual ingredients—qualitatively and/or quantitatively.

Soft Adaptive Mechanical Metamaterials [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021 Soft materials are inherently flexible and make suitable candidates for soft robots intended for specific tasks that would otherwise not be achievable (e.g., smart grips capable of picking up objects without prior knowledge of their stiffness). Moreover, soft robots exploit the mechanics of their fundamental building blocks and aim to provide targeted ...

Non-Auxetic Mechanical Metamaterials [PDF]
Materials, 2019 The concept of “mechanical metamaterials” has become increasingly popular, since their macro-scale characteristics can be designed to exhibit unusual combinations of mechanical properties on the micro-scale. The advances in additive manufacturing (AM, three-dimensional printing) techniques have boosted the fabrication of these mechanical metamaterials ...

Hierarchical Auxetic Mechanical Metamaterials [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractAuxetic mechanical metamaterials are engineered systems that exhibit the unusual macroscopic property of a negative Poisson's ratio due to sub-unit structure rather than chemical composition. Although their unique behaviour makes them superior to conventional materials in many practical applications, they are limited in availability.

Origami based Mechanical Metamaterials [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 We describe mechanical metamaterials created by folding flat sheets in the tradition of origami, the art of paper folding, and study them in terms of their basic geometric and stiffness properties, as well as load bearing capability. A periodic Miura-ori pattern and a non-periodic Ron Resch pattern were studied.

Mechanical metamaterials and beyond
Nature Communications, 2023 AbstractMechanical metamaterials enable the creation of structural materials with unprecedented mechanical properties. However, thus far, research on mechanical metamaterials has focused on passive mechanical metamaterials and the tunability of their mechanical properties.
