The Principle of Independent Bond-Level Response: Tuning by Pruning to Exploit Disorder for Global Behavior

Abstract: We introduce a principle unique to disordered solids wherein the contribution of any bond to one global perturbation is uncorrelated with its contribution to another. Coupled with sufficient variability in the contributions of different bonds, this "independent bond-level response" paves the way for the design of real materials with unusual and exquisitely tuned properties. To illustrate this, we choose two global perturbations: compression and shear. By applying a bond removal procedure that is both simple an… Show more

“…For example, the unique state associated with each bond can be used to predict changes in the elastic constants upon bond pruning and can be used to design materials with specified elastic properties [10]. In addition, our results shed light on the work by Driscoll et al [25], which studied fracture in disordered networks under uniaxial tension.…”

“…Specifically, we will see that there is a unique state associated with each bond defined by the component of the kernel of Q that is lost when the bond is removed. This state allows one to calculate directly what would happen to the elasticity of the system should the bond be removed [22], which is a key step in designing materials with tunable elastic properties [10]. The localization of these states also plays a role in the width of the fracture zone of marginal materials, as observed by Driscoll et al [25].…”

“…One example of the many surprises is the recent discovery of a decoupling of the contributions to the resistance to compression and shear of disordered network materials, which can be used to tune the elastic response into extreme corners of parameter space [46]. Other examples include the use of geometric methods to capture and predict the response on mechanical metamaterials [23].…”

“…Moreover, the presence of multiple local minima makes the optimization highly dependent on the initial conditions and search algorithm. Besides these gradient‐based methods, other approaches to optimize the behavior of mechanical networks exist, including stochastic optimization approaches and evolutionary approaches that are inspired by mechanical allostery …”
