They are assembled from individually defined units so that their effective material properties can be enhanced. Gumbsch, who also heads the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials IWM in ...

Until now, designing complex metamaterials with specific mechanical properties required large and costly experimental and simulation datasets. The method enables ...

Join us in bridging the gap between simulation and experimental data and contribute to the advancement of programmable mechanical metamaterials. First-class honours (70%) Upper second-class honours ...

They have developed a new class of mechanical metamaterials—artificially engineered structures that store and release elastic energy more efficiently than ever before. This innovation could lead ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to store mechanical energy using twisted rods in specially designed metamaterials, delivering massive energy density gains and big potential for robotics and ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental very high level programming system for computer controlled mechanical assembly, AUTOPASS (AUTOmated Parts ASsembly System). The AUTOPASS language is ...

It is based on the novel concept of composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line metamaterials (MMs), which has led to the development of novel guided-wave, radiated-wave, and refracted-wave ...

In metamaterials design ... "So far we've talked of mechanical properties, but what if we could also make them conductive, or responsive to temperature? For that, the two networks could be ...

Portela and his colleagues will report their findings in the journal Nature Materials ("Double-network-inspired mechanical metamaterials"). His MIT co-authors include first author James Utama Surjadi ...
