Multistability is the phenomenon of multiple coexistent stable states, which are highly
sensitive to perturbations, initial conditions, system parameters, etc. Multistability has been …

In the past decades, many mechanical metamaterials with uncommon static properties have
been reported. On the other hand, mechanical metamaterials possessing extraordinary …

Shape memory materials can maintain temporary shapes without external constraints and
revert to their permanent shape upon exposure to an external stimulus, such as heat, light …

Recent developments in architectural design and additive manufacturing (AM) techniques
have led to advances in the design and fabrication of metamaterials. We demonstrate that by …

Metamaterials have unprecedented properties that facilitate the development of advanced
devices and machines. However, their interconnected building structures limit their …

Vibration control is an overwhelmingly concerned issue that exists in many industrial fields
such as machinery, aerospace and civil engineering. Indeed, in terms of energy perspective …

Rationally designed artificial materials, called metamaterials, allow for tailoring effective
material properties beyond (“meta”) the properties of their bulk ingredient materials. This …

This article overviews several areas of research into architectured materials which, in the
opinion of the authors, are most topical and promising. The classes of materials considered …

Compared with traditional energy dissipation structures, negative stiffness metamaterials
can repeatedly dissipate energy without incurring irreversible plastic deformation. The …
