Rational design of artificial micro-structured metamaterials with advanced mechanical and
physical properties that are not accessible in nature materials is challenging and important …

Chiral kerf structures are formed by arranging chiral and coiled unit cells which allows for
multi-dimensional and multi-scale shape configurations under mechanical loadings. In this …

Shape displays enable people to touch simulated surfaces. A common architecture of such
devices uses a mechatronic pin-matrix. Besides their complexity and high cost, these matrix …

We describe the out-of-plane bending of kerf chiral fractal lattices metamaterials by using a
combination of theoretical models, full-scale finite elements and experimental tests …

A relief cutting method, or kerfing, is considered to create flexible freeform surfaces from
relatively stiff and thick panels. The flexibility and moldability are achieved by introducing …

Stretchable materials that can sustain a large deformation are in high demand, because they
find broad applications ranging from stretchable energy storage devices to tunable noise …

Kerfing is a subtractive manufacturing method to create flexible surfaces from stiff planar
materials. While kerf structures are ubiquitous in indoor and outdoor architectures due to …

As the most appealing triply periodic hyperbolic surface, the gyroid (G) processes large
strength-to-weight ratio and high energy absorption efficiency due to the distinctive energy …

Whirlpools, by the Dutch graphic artist MC Escher, is a woodcut print in which fish interlock
as a double spiral tessellation. Inspired by this print, in this article we extend the idea and …

The current design of negative Poisson's ratio lattice structures is mainly forward-looking
and predominantly dependent on several known deformation patterns. To automate the …
