研究目的
Exploring the creation of devices from metamaterials that can perform mechanical functions, employ simple mechanical computation, and interact with their environment, all defined by their internal microstructure.
研究成果
The study extends the research field of metamaterials by contributing general-purpose approaches to creating devices from metamaterials. These devices are of higher complexity, exploit more degrees of freedom, and are solely defined by their microstructures, requiring no assembly.
研究不足
Analog machines are limited in complexity due to energy dissipation as forces are passed from one cell to the next, causing the mechanical signal to decay exponentially. This limits the number of mechanisms that can be concatenated.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study demonstrates three types of metamaterial devices through hands-on demonstrations and the use of interactive software tools for design.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Objects are 3D printed from a single piece, with functionality defined by their internal microstructure.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3D printers and specialized 3D editor software are used.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Objects are designed using the editor, which allows for the placement of different types of cells to add mechanical functionality, and then 3D printed.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The editor simulates how the object deforms in response to applied forces, allowing for design verification.
