Journal ArticleDOI

Flexible mechanical metamaterials

TL;DR: In this article, the design principles leading to these properties are identified and discussed, in particular, linear and mechanism-based metamaterials (such as origami-based and kirigami based metammaterials), harnessing instabilities and frustration, and topological and nonlinear metam materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Programmable Mechanical Metamaterials

TL;DR: A soft mechanism model is introduced which captures the programmable mechanics, and a general design strategy for confined mechanical metamaterials is outlined, showing how inhomogeneous confinement can be explored to create multistability and giant hysteresis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combinatorial design of textured mechanical metamaterials

TL;DR: This work introduces a combinatorial strategy for the design of aperiodic, yet frustration-free, mechanical metamaterials that exhibit spatially textured functionalities and shows their mechanical response to compression by a textured surface reveals their ability to perform sensing and pattern analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origami multistability: from single vertices to metasheets.

TL;DR: It is shown how to program the stability features of a single vertex into a periodic fold tessellation, and the resulting metasheets provide a previously unanticipated functionality-tunable and switchable shape and size via multistability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shear Bands in Matter with Granularity

TL;DR: In this article, the main mechanisms that cause shear banding in complex fluids with granularity are discussed, such as foams, emulsions, colloidal suspensions, and granular matter.
