Machine learning and randomness in mechanical metamaterials

Design of a Super-Compressible Metamaterial: An Experimental Investigation Guided by Machine Learning

Mechanical metamaterials are a new emerging class of materials which achieve properties outside the bounds of conventional materials. A metamaterial consists of a unit cell which is periodically repeated in space. In this study, a new metamaterial unit cell is proposed, derived from a class of space structures known as deployable masts. What...
