Multistable mechanical metamaterials are a type of mechanical metamaterials with special
features, such as reusability, energy storage and absorption capabilities, rapid deformation …

Acoustic metamaterials, structured to produce anomalous reflection and refraction indices
that are not found in conventional materials, are gaining prominence in engineering …

Auxetic materials become thicker rather than thinner when stretched, exhibiting an unusual
negative Poisson's ratio well suited for designing shape transforming metamaterials. Current …

The emerging concept of mechanical meta-materials has received increasing attention
during the last few years partially due to the advances in additive manufacturing techniques …

We present a monolithic mechanical metamaterial comprising a periodic arrangement of
snapping units with tunable tensile behavior. Under tension, the metamaterial undergoes a …

Instabilities in solids and structures are ubiquitous across all length and time scales, and
engineering design principles have commonly aimed at preventing instability. However …

Real-time tunable mechanical metamaterial is an emerging field attracting great attention. It
enables a wide range of mechanical properties but is hard to design and fabricate due to its …

Three‐dimensional printing of viscoelastic inks to create porous, elastomeric architectures
with mechanical properties governed by the ordered arrangement of their sub‐millimeter …

When tensioned, ordinary materials expand along the direction of the applied force. Here,
we explore network concepts to design metamaterials exhibiting negative compressibility …

The mechanical responses of two novel kinds of two-dimensional (2D) mechanical
metamaterials containing opposite or parallel snapping curved (U-shaped) segments with …
