Transformable topological mechanical metamaterials [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 AbstractMechanical metamaterials are engineered materials whose structures give them novel mechanical properties, including negative Poisson’s ratios, negative compressibilities and phononic bandgaps. Of particular interest are systems near the point of mechanical instability, which recently have been shown to distribute force and motion in robust ways
