Fabrication of topological mechanical metamaterials

|
5 |
- Inspired by topological insulators in condensed matter physics, we design 1D to 3D architectures of topological metamaterials. These systems enable controllable localization and guiding of stress waves with defect-immune and robust characteristics. The goal of this project is to investigate and demonstrate this new design paradigm with the help of analytical, numerical, and experimental techniques. We place emphasis on the practical design of such topological platforms, possibly with tunable nature.

- We explore the design of non-conventional composite structures, such as self-deploying composite structures, impact-absorbing composites with enhanced crashworthiness, and discontinuous fiber composites (in collaboration with Professor Marco Salviato's team at the University of Washington).
