“…The architecture of the proposed metamaterial can also be exploited to enhance adaptivity through lattice reconfiguration, which has been used in previous investigations to achieve tailorable bandgaps and waveguides in topologically trivial structures (Thota et al, 2017;Thota and Wang, 2018). In this section, lattice reconfiguration is explored as a mechanism to enhance the frequency range of topological waves and obtain additional topological edge states.…”

Many engineering applications leverage metamaterials to achieve elastic wave control. To enhance the performance and expand the functionalities of elastic waveguides, the concepts of electronic transport in topological insulators have been applied to elastic metamaterials. Initial studies showed that topologically protected elastic wave transmission in mechanical metamaterials could be realized that is immune to backscattering and undesired localization in the presence of defects or disorder. Recent studies have developed tunable topological elastic metamaterials to maximize performance in the presence of varying external conditions, adapt to changing operating requirements, and enable new functionalities such as a programmable wave path. However, a challenge remains to achieve a tunable topological metamaterial that is comprehensively adaptable in both the frequency and spatial domains and is effective over a broad frequency bandwidth that includes a subwavelength regime. To advance the state of the art, this research presents a piezoelectric metamaterial with the capability to concurrently tailor the frequency, path, and mode shape of topological waves using resonant circuitry. In the research presented in this manuscript, the plane wave expansion method is used to detect a frequency tunable subwavelength Dirac point in the band structure of the periodic unit cell and discover an operating region over which topological wave propagation can exist. Dispersion analyses for a finite strip illuminate how circuit parameters can be utilized to adjust mode shapes corresponding to topological edge states. A further evaluation provides insight into how increased electromechanical coupling and lattice reconfiguration can be exploited to enhance the frequency range for topological wave propagation, increase achievable mode localization, and attain additional edge states. Topological guided wave propagation that is subwavelength in nature and adaptive in path, localization, and frequency is illustrated in numerical simulations of thin plate structures. Outcomes from the presented work indicate that the easily integrable and comprehensively tunable proposed metamaterial could be employed in applications requiring a multitude of functions over a broad frequency bandwidth.

Architected Origami Materials: How Folding Creates Sophisticated Mechanical Properties

devices, [26,27] to small-scale nano- [28][29][30] and DNA origamis. [31] A common theme in these studies is to exploit the sophisticated shape transformations from folding. For example, an origami robot is typically fabricated in a 2D flat configuration and then folded into the prescribed 3D shape to perform its tasks. The origamis have been treated essentially as linkage mechanisms in which rigid facets rotate around hingelike creases (aka "rigid-folding origami"). Elastic deformation of the constituent sheet materials or the dynamics of folding are often neglected. Such a limitation in scope indeed resonates the origin of this field, that is, folding was initially considered as a topic in geometry and kinematics.However, the increasingly diverse applications of origami require us to understand the force-deformation relationship and other mechanical properties of folded structures. Over the last decade, studies in this field started to expand beyond design and kinematics and into the domain of mechanics and dynamics. Catalyzed by this development, a family of architected origami materials quickly emerged (Figure 1). These materials are essentially assemblies of origami sheets or modules with carefully designed crease patterns. The kinematics of folding still plays an important role in creating certain properties of these origami materials. For example, rigid folding of the classical Miura-ori sheet induces an in-plane deformation pattern with auxetic properties (aka negative Poisson's ratios). [32,33] However, elastic energy in the deformed facets and creases, combined with their intricate spatial distributions, impart the origami materials with a rich list of desirable and even unorthodox properties that were never examined in origami before. For example, the Ron-Resch fold creates a unique tri-fold structure where pairs of triangular facets are oriented vertically to the overall origami sheet and pressed against each other. Such an arrangement can effectively resist buckling and create very high compressive load bearing capacity. [34] Other achieved properties include shape-reconfiguration, tunable nonlinear stiffness and dynamic characteristics, multistability, and impact absorption.Since the architected origami materials obtain their unique properties from the 3D geometries of the constituent sheets or modules, they can be considered a subset of architected cellular solids or mechanical metamaterials. [35][36][37][38][39] However, the origami materials have many unique characteristics. The rich geometries of origami offer us great freedom to tailor targeted Origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, is not only an inspiring technique to create sophisticated shapes, but also a surprisingly powerful method to induce nonlinear mechanical properties. Over the last decade, advances in crease design, mechanics modeling, and scalable fabrication have fostered the rapid emergence of architected origami materials. These materials typically consist of folded origami sheets or modules with intricate 3D geomet...

Topological mechanical metamaterials have been widely explored for their boundary states, which can be robustly isolated or transported in a controlled manner. However, such systems often require pre-configured design or complex active actuation for wave manipulation. Here, we present the possibility of in-situ transfer of topological boundary modes by leveraging the reconfigurability intrinsic in twisted origami lattices. In particular, we employ a dimer Kresling origami system consisting of unit cells with opposite chirality, which couples longitudinal and rotational degrees of freedom in elastic waves. The quasi-static twist imposed on the lattice alters the strain landscape of the lattice, thus significantly affecting the wave dispersion relations and the topology of the underling bands. This in turn facilitates an efficient topological state transfer from one edge to the other. This simple and practical approach of energy transfer in origami-inspired lattices can thus inspire a new class of efficient energy manipulation devices.
