Lattice materials are interesting mechanical metamaterials, and their mechanical properties are often related to the presence of mechanisms. The existence of periodic mechanisms can be indicated by the presence of Guest-Hutchinson (GH) modes, since GH modes are sometimes infinitesimal versions of periodic mechanisms. However, not every GH mode comes from a periodic mechanism. This paper focuses on: (1) clarifying the relationship between GH modes and periodic mechanisms; and (2) answering the…

Surface phonons, elastic response, and conformal invariance in twisted kagome lattices

Elasticity and phonons of a special class of two-dimensional isostatic lattices constructed by distorting the kagome lattice are explored and it is shown that the phonon structure of these lattices, characterized by vanishing bulk moduli and thus negative Poisson ratios, depends sensitively on boundary conditions and on the nature of the k Kagome distortions.

Topological boundary modes in isostatic lattices

Frames, or lattices consisting of mass points connected by rigid bonds or central-force springs, are important model constructs that have applications in such diverse fields as structural…

This is a review on the emergent field of topological mechanics, where concepts from electronic topological states of matter are applied to mechanics. We focus on the subcategory of topological…

This study reveals additional territories in the mechanical metamaterials design space which could unlock more tools for information encryption, stiffness tuning, and wave guiding.

Transformable topological mechanical metamaterials

It is shown that the existence and form of a soft deformation directly determines floppy edge modes and phonon dispersion, and the soft strain is generalized to generate domain structures that allow further tuning of the material.

Conformal elasticity of mechanism-based metamaterials

The authors present an analytical framework for a canonical mechanism that can not only predict, but also precisely control deformation in flexible metamaterials, and demonstrates a general principle in which mechanisms can generate special classes of soft deformations.

Dualities and non-Abelian mechanics

It is shown how dualities can enhance the symmetries of a dynamical matrix (or Hamiltonian), enabling the design of metamaterials with emergent properties that escape a standard group theory analysis.
