Abstract

Multifunctional Mechanical Metamaterials In article number 2402006, David Melancon, Yannis Liétard, and Daniel Therriault present a 3D printed mechanical metamaterial capable of compressive stiffness tunability, shape morphing, and post-fabrication modularity where each individual component can be reassembled to program functionality. The 3D unit cell design is based on an assembly of bistable von Mises trusses that exhibit a switch in compressive stiffness from one stable state to the other.
