Description:: The advent of metamaterials—hierarchical structures that manifest properties beyond those found in nature through geometry rather than material composition—inspired new possibilities and research in many fields. In mechanics, periodic metamaterials exhibit behaviors ranging from unprecedented compressibility to extreme stiffness. Numerous geometric classes of metamaterials with these properties have been discovered,...

Description:: Manufacturing processes are known for their intricacies in changing material shapes and properties. New generations of manufacturing technologies, known as flexible manufacturing, are moving toward design freedom, which allows producing parts with optimized geometries and high customizations at an affordable cost even for low-volume productions. Two prominent flexible manufacturing processes...

Description:: Polymer nanocomposites are a class of advanced materials comprised of soft polymer matrix and nano-filler inclusions. While it has been found qualitatively that enhancements of material properties could be achieved by dispersing inorganic nano-particles into organic polymer matrix, the intrinsic governing principles of such composite has not been thoroughly studied...
