Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new kind of microarchitectured material that utilizes active control to alter its bulk shape through the deformation of its compliant elements. This new kind of microarchitectured ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to introduce an approach for optimally organizing a variety of nonrepeating compliantmechanismlike unit cells within a large deformable lattice such that the bulk behavior of the lattice exhibits ...
