Grounded Metamaterials Keep Their Shape-Shifting Mechanics Stable

Date:

Grounded reconfigurable metamaterials preserved nearly identical displacement fields across rectangular, parallelogram, and random geometries, overcoming a key shape-performance trade-off in mechanical metamaterials. By combining transformation elasticity, grounded body torques, and Willis springs, the system enabled programmable deformation modes, including asymmetric tension without bending and tension-induced buckling.
