Geometrically Frustrated, Mechanical Metamaterial Membranes: Large-Scale Stress Accumulation and Size-Selective Assembly We study the effect of geometric frustration on dilational mechanical metamaterial membranes. While shape frustrated elastic plates can only accommodate nonzero Gaussian curvature up to size scales th...

Biology makes materials far more complex that what we can achieve ourselves. It often does this with small parts that come together to assemble into larger structures with defined sizes. Here is a theoretical contribution to solving this problem, funded by the NSF.
