Multistable shape-reconfigurable architected materials encompassing living hinges and enabling combinations of high strength, high volumetric change, and complex shape-morphing patterns are introduced. Analytical and numerical investigations, validated by experiments, are performed to characterize the mechanical behavior of the proposed materials. The proposed architected materials can be constructed from virtually any base material, at any length scale and dimensionality.

On page 7915, L. Valvedit and co‐workers report multi‐stable shape‐reconfigurable architected materials encompassing a living hinge, which enable exceptional combinations of high strength, high volumetric change, and complex shape‐morphing patterns. These properties could pave the way for the manufacturing of highly adaptable components that are fully reconfigurable based on functionality. Other foreseeable applications include deployable structures, multi‐purpose structures, and structures for energy absorption, vibration control, and tunable phononic response.
