Abstract:
Origami has been employed to build deployable mechanical metamaterials through folding and unfolding along the crease lines. Deployable metamaterials are usually flexible, particularly along their deploying and collapsing directions, which unfortunately in many cases leads to an unstable deployed state, i.e., small perturbations may collapse the structure along the same deployment path. Here we create an origami-inspired mechanical metamaterial with on-demand deployability and selective collapsibility through energy analysis. This metamaterial has autonomous deployability from the collapsed st

Abstract:
Flexible mechanical metamaterials are compliant structures designed to achieve desired mechanical properties via large deformation or rotation of their components. While their static properties (such as Poisson’s ratio) have been studied extensively, much less work has been done on their dynamic properties, especially nonlinear dynamic properties induced by large movement of internal components. Here, we examine the nonlinear dynamic response arising from impact loading of mechanical materials that consist of 1D and 2D arrangements of rotating squares, which leads to formation of solitons.

Abstract:
Mechanical metamaterials exhibit unusual properties, such as negative Poisson’s ratio, which are difficult to achieve in conventional materials. Rational design of mechanical metamaterials at the microscale is becoming popular partly because of the advance in three-dimensional printing technologies. However, incorporating movable building blocks inside solids, thereby enabling us to manipulate mechanical movement at the molecular scale, has been a difficult task.

Mechanical metamaterials made of flexible building blocks can exhibit a plethora of extreme mechanical responses, such as negative elastic constants, shape-changes, programmability, and memory.

However, in an increasing number of scenarios, where metamaterials are loaded dynamically, dissipation cannot be ignored. In this Research Update, we show that the interplay between mech

The development of devices that can be mechanically deformed in geometrical layouts, such as flexible/stretchable devices, is important for various applications. Conventional flexible/stretchable devices have been demonstrated using two-dimensional (2D) geometry, resulting in dimensional constraints on device operations and functionality limitations. Accordingly, expanding the dimensions in which such devices can operate and acquiring unique functionality that is difficult to implement in 2D planar structures remain challenging. As a solution, the development of a flexible/stretchable device e

Abstract:
AbstractIn the field of flexible metamaterial design, harnessing zero modes plays a key part in enabling reconfigurable elastic properties of the metamaterial with unconventional characteristics. However, only quantitative enhancement of certain properties succeeds in most cases rather than qualitative transformation of the metamaterials’ states or/and functionalities, due to the lack of systematic designs on the corresponding zero modes. Here, we propose a 3D metamaterial with engineered zero modes, and experimentally demonstrate its transformable static and dynamic properties. All seven type

Abstract:
Abstract Auxetic materials, a type of mechanical metamaterial with negative Poisson's ratios, are potentially utilized in the realms of energy absorption and engineering structures. However, most of the existing auxetic materials either contain a large amount of rotational motion or still have gaps when fully folded, which is not conducive to lifting loads. Besides, their application is limited to flexible environments due to their single-folding mode. To overcome such limitations, a fully foldable mechanical metamaterial with isotropic auxeticity is proposed by utilizing the Sarrus mechanism,

Abstract:
Abstract As origami structures display designable and predictable folding or unfolding shape changes, the origami-inspired mechanical metamaterials have recently been extensively investigated for applications in metamaterial engineering. There were many previous studies on the conventional hexagonal Kresling origami structures, however, there are many issues such as structural optimizations and designable strategies for the mechanical metamaterials, which have not been solved. To solve these issues, in this study, we studied the influences of crease direction, the number of sides, and unit arr

AbstractIntegrated circuits utilize networked logic gates to compute Boolean logic operations that are the foundation of modern computation and electronics. With the emergence of flexible electronic materials and devices, an opportunity exists to formulate digital logic from compliant, conductive materials. Here, we introduce a general method of leveraging cellular, mechanical metamaterials composed of conductive polymers to realize all digital logic gates and gate assemblies.

Meanwhile, mechanically reconfigurable metamaterials have witnessed a striving period over recent years due to their simplified structural composition and confined modulation capabilities. Here, a controllable‐wrinkling‐based reconfiguration method is proposed to design split‐ring resonant units with dynamic transmittance spectra by switching between planar and wrinkling morphologies.

AbstractStructures with artificially engineered mechanical properties, often called mechanical metamaterials, are interesting for their tunable functionality. Various types of mechanical metamaterials have been proposed in the literature, designed to harness light or magnetic interactions, structural instabilities in slender or hollow structures, and contact friction. However, most of the designs are ideally engineered without any imperfections, in order to perform deterministically as programmed. Here, we study the mechanical performance of randomly stacked cylindrical shells, which act as a

Abstract:
Abstract The bending properties of square auxetic tubular lattice (SATL) metamaterial were examined, in comparison with the circular auxetic tubular lattice (CATL) metamaterials and square diamond tubular lattice (SDTL) structures. The SATL metamaterial possesses higher flexibility compared with SDTL, and stronger collision resistance than the CATL. The influences of curvature radius R and unit cell rib width d on the bending properties of the SATL metamaterials were analyzed. The results show that smaller R and d could make the SATL metamaterials more flexible. Then, the bending properties of
