Abstract:Programmable materials hold great potential for many applications such as deployable structures, soft robotics, and wave control, however, the presence of instability and disorder might hinder their utilization. Through a combination of analytical, numerical, and experimental analyses, we harness the interplay between instabilities, geometric frustration, and mechanical deformations to control the propagation of sound waves within self-assembled soft materials. We consider levitated magnetic disks confined by … Show more
