Mechanical memories in solids, from disorder to design
JD Paulsen, NC Keim - Annual Review of Condensed Matter …, 2024 - annualreviews.org
Solids are rigid, which means that when left undisturbed, their structures are nearly static. It
follows that these structures depend on history—but it is surprising that they hold readable …

Emergent disorder and mechanical memory in periodic metamaterials
Ordered mechanical systems typically have one or only a few stable rest configurations, and
hence are not considered useful for encoding memory. Multistable and history-dependent …

Competition between energy and dynamics in memory formation
Bistable objects that are pushed between states by an external field are often used as a
simple model to study memory formation in disordered materials. Such systems, called …

Mechanical annealing and memories in a disordered solid
Shearing a disordered or amorphous solid for many cycles with a constant strain amplitude
can anneal it, relaxing a sample to a steady state that encodes a memory of that amplitude …
