A Fundamental Understanding of Disorder in Metamaterials

Project
The project is aimed at the study of disordered mechanical metamaterials. Metamaterials are structured materials which have the ability to exhibit advanced functionalities and are typically characterised by an ordered, periodic representative unit cells. In this work, the influence of disorder on the functionality of these systems will be studied. Besides allowing for an understanding of the fundamental relationship between disorder and structure on metamaterial functionality, this study also aims at exploring the possibility of designing inherently disordered metamaterials. Achieving the latter objective will open up new avenues for the production of metamaterials through hierarchical self-assembly and other entropy-based chemical methods at the nanoscale, since, currently, the fabrication of metamaterials is almost exclusively centred on additive and subtractive manufacturing methods of macro and microscale systems. This will allow for the realisation of metamaterials at a scale which is currently unachievable through rapid prototyping methods.
