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:: Engineering design is a systematic process of identifying needs and their translation into functional systems. This is a cyclic process that alternates between the acquisition of data and the synthesis of said data to inform design decisions. Conventionally, data from physical experiments are used to explore the efficacy of alternative...

Description:: Modern design practices rely more and more on computer simulations due to their low cost compared with physical experiments. However, it is still an elusive task to fully unleash the advantages of the simulation models while mitigating their disadvantages for designing complex engineering systems. In simulation-based design, computer simulation models...
