Elastic metamaterials for tuning circular polarization of electromagnetic waves
Electromagnetic resonators are integrated with advanced elastic material to develop a new type of tunable metamaterial. An electromagnetic-elastic metamaterial able to switch on and off its electromagnetic chiral response is experimentally demonstrated. Such tunability is attained by harnessing the unique buckling properties of auxetic elastic materials (buckliballs) with embedded electromagnet...
متن کاملSoft Actuation of Structured Cylinders through Auxetic Behavior
There has been a recent upsurge in the study of auxetic, or negative Poisson’s ratio, materials that derive functionality from mechanical instabilities of the underlying structure. One of the simplest auxetic designs comprises an elastomeric slab patterned with an array of voids. Under uniaxial compression, the slender ligaments contiguous to the voids buckle cooperatively, resulting in the shr...
متن کاملHarnessing viscoelasticity and instabilities for tuning wavy patterns in soft layered composites.
In this study, we combine the elastic instability and non-linear rate-dependent phenomena to achieve microstructure tunability in soft layered materials. In these soft composites, elastic instabilities give rise to formation of wrinkles or wavy patterns. In elastic materials, the critical wavelength as well as amplitude at a particular strain level are exclusively defined by the composite micro...
متن کاملElastic instabilities of a ferroelastomer beam for soft reconfigurable electronics
We examine the flexural deformation and snap-through instability of a pre-buckled ferroelastomer beam. The beam is composed of ferromagnetic and electrically conductive microparticles suspended in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix. Bending and snapthrough are controlled remotely with an external magnetic field. The observed magnetoflexural coupling is in reasonable agreement with predictions...
متن کامل3D soft metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio.
Buckling is exploited to design a new class of three-dimensional metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio. A library of auxetic building blocks is identified and procedures are defined to guide their selection and assembly. The auxetic properties of these materials are demonstrated both through experiments and finite element simulations and exhibit excellent qualitative and quantitative agre...
