Controlling Malleability of Metamaterials through Programmable Memory

Malleability, the ability to adapt materials specific shapes, is necessary in applications where a form closure requested. The material should be easily deformable between desired stable shapes. Such stability can obtained through bistable elements that act as memory metamaterials. In this paper, with behavior programmed by local temperature presented. switched permanent shape change and complete elastic recovery after removing an applied mechanical load. Additionally, deformed forced recover its heating. Through adaption of mesostructure used polymers, characteristic (switching time temperature) adjusted. Furthermore, heating locally only certain parts are able change. A unit cell design which based on analytical numerical analyses considers not but also combination polymeric thermoresponsive demonstrated. Unit cells structures several were additively manufactured validate programmable behavior. concept extended indirect alternating magnetic field, using compound made from particles.
