Abstract: Abstract Mechanical metamaterials undergoing extreme deformations span an ever-increasing design space of mechanical performance. However, achieving selective deformability in load-carrying metamaterials remains unexplored. Anisotropic thin fiber-reinforced composite shells, which are soft in bending and stiff… read more here.
