King post truss as a motif for internal structure of (meta)material with controlled elastic properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
One of the most interesting challenges in the modern theory of materials consists in the determination of those microstructures which produce, at the macro-level, a class of metamaterials whose elastic range is many orders of magnitude wider than the one

Optimal control theory based design of elasto-magnetic metamaterial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A method to design a new type of metamaterial is presented. A two-step strategy to define an optimal long-range force distribution embedded in an elastic support to control wave propagation is considered. The first step uses a linear quadratic regulator

Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, 2015
We present a monolithic mechanical metamaterial comprising a periodic arrangement of snapping units with tunable tensile behavior. Under tension, the metamaterial undergoes a large extension caused by sequential snap-through instabilities, and exhibits a pattern switch from an undeformed wavy-shape to a diamond configuration.

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency and Absorption in Metamaterials: The Radiating Two-Oscillator Model and Its Experimental Confirmation

open access: yes, 2012
Several classical analogues of electromagnetically induced transparency in metamaterials have been demonstrated. A simple two-resonator model can describe their absorption spectrum qualitatively, but fails to provide information about the scattering ...

Shape-matching soft mechanical metamaterials [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
AbstractArchitectured materials with rationally designed geometries could be used to create mechanical metamaterials with unprecedented or rare properties and functionalities. Here, we introduce “shape-matching” metamaterials where the geometry of cellular structures comprising auxetic and conventional unit cells is designed so as to achieve a pre ...

Automatic design of mechanical metamaterial actuators [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
AbstractMechanical metamaterial actuators achieve pre-determined input–output operations exploiting architectural features encoded within a single 3D printed element, thus removing the need for assembling different structural components. Despite the rapid progress in the field, there is still a need for efficient strategies to optimize metamaterial ...

What Do Large Language Models Know About Materials?

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
If large language models (LLMs) are to be used inside the material discovery and engineering process, they must be benchmarked for the accurateness of intrinsic material knowledge. The current work introduces 1) a reasoning process through the processing–structure–property–performance chain and 2) a tool for benchmarking knowledge of LLMs concerning ...

Oligomodal mechanical metamaterials

open access: yes, 2020
Mechanical metamaterials are artifical composites that exhibit a wide range of advanced functionalities such as negative Poisson's ratio, shape-shifting, topological protection, multistability, and enhanced energy dissipation. To date, most metamaterials have a single property, e.g.

On the incompressibility of cylindrical origami patterns

open access: yes, 2016
The art and science of folding intricate three-dimensional structures out of paper has occupied artists, designers, engineers, and mathematicians for decades, culminating in the design of deployable structures and mechanical metamaterials.
