Navigating the landscape of nonlinear mechanical metamaterials for advanced programmability
We consider a flexible mechanical metamaterial comprising an elastomeric matrix with an embedded square array of circular holes. First, we use the deflated continuation technique of bifurcation analysis to explore its complex energy landscape, characterized by multiple bifurcations from which stable...
