Abstract: Disordered-Network Mechanical Materials (DNMM), comprised of random arrangements of bonds and nodes, have emerged as mechanical metamaterials with the potential for achieving fine control over their mechanical properties. Recent computational studies have demonstrated this control… read more here.

Abstract: A critical transition occurs between pre- and post-buckled configurations of lightly-damped structures where the relative proportions of dissipative and elastic forces may reverse, theoretically giving rise to large effective damping properties. This paper describes computational… read more here.
