Artificial Materials from Architected Building Blocks.
Conventional material design focuses on engineering the chemistry and microstructure of solids. Metamaterials go beyond these classical approaches. They are artificial materials that are constructed from rationally designed spatial building blocks, like lattice-truss architectures. This rational architecture grants unique unconventional - classically impossible - properties. With the recent progress in additive manufacturing, this universal concept is being adopted across many fields, including optics, acoustics, thermal transport and mechanics, with examples ranging from thermal cloaking in microelectronics to ultra-strong lightweight aerospace structures. This course provides a practical introduction covering the fundamentals of different mechanical metamaterial architectures. Design principles, mechanical models and applicable fabrication techniques from the macro- to the nanoscale are discussed in the context of emerging applications across different industries and state-of-the-art scientific directions.
