Advanced manufacturing of multi-stable metamaterials

ORAL

Abstract

We design and experimentally evaluate a new class of metamaterials capable of achieving multiple stable morphologies, which can be tailored to respond to external stimuli. Further, we engineer the metamaterial to achieve reconfigurations with a high fatigue resistance and expansion ratio. Ultimately, we anticipate that the multi-stability of an expandable structure can enable a broad range of biomedical devices.
