Soft and Stiff Simplex Tensegrity Lattices as Extreme Smart Metamaterials

The present paper is dedicated to an evaluation of novel cellular metamaterials based on a tensegrity pattern. The materials are constructed from supercells, each of which consists of a number of simplex modules with different geometrical proportions. Mechanical properties of the metamaterial can be...
