Inverse-designed spinodoid metamaterials
@article{Kumar2020InversedesignedSM, title={Inverse-designed spinodoid metamaterials}, author={Siddhant Kumar and Stephanie Tan and Li Zheng and Dennis M. Kochmann}, journal={npj Computational Materials}, year={2020}, volume={6}, pages={1-10} }
After a decade of periodic truss-, plate-, and shell-based architectures having dominated the design of metamaterials, we introduce the non-periodic class of spinodoid topologies. Inspired by natural self-assembly processes, spinodoid metamaterials are a close approximation of microstructures observed during spinodal phase separation. Their theoretical parametrization is so intriguingly simple that one can bypass costly phase-field simulations and obtain a rich and seamlessly tunable property…
