Mechanical metamaterials exhibit properties and functionalities that cannot be realized in
conventional materials. Originally, the field focused on achieving unusual (zero or negative) …

Mechanical metamaterials are man-made structures with counterintuitive mechanical
properties that originate in the geometry of their unit cell instead of the properties of each …

When a system jams, it undergoes a transition from a flowing to a rigid state. Despite this
important change in the dynamics, the internal structure of the system remains disordered in …

Metamaterials are man-made designer matter that obtains its unusual effective properties by
structure rather than chemistry. Building upon the success of electromagnetic and acoustic …

Amorphous materials as diverse as foams, emulsions, colloidal suspensions and granular
media can jam into a rigid, disordered state where they withstand finite shear stresses …

Recent advances in designing metamaterials have demonstrated that global mechanical
properties of disordered spring networks can be tuned by selectively modifying only a small …

Disordered fibrous networks are ubiquitous in nature as major structural components of
living cells and tissues. The mechanical stability of networks generally depends on the …

An approximation scheme for model disordered solids is proposed that leads to the fully
analytical evaluation of the elastic constants under explicit account of the inhomogeneity …

We present an analysis of finite-size effects in jammed packings of N soft, frictionless
spheres at zero temperature. There is a 1 N correction to the discrete jump in the contact …

We review the state of the art in foam and highly concentrated emulsion rheology, with an
emphasis on progress made over the last five years. Since the structures and physico …
