A New Design Strategy for Highly Multistable Kirigami Metamaterials (Adv. Funct. Mater. 19/2025)
Multistable Kirigami Metamaterials In article number 2421638, A. Corvi, K. Bertoldi, and A. S. Meeusse present a systematic approach for designing highly multistable mechanical structures. This method, which features a generalized bistable kirigami unit cell along with a set of geometric compatibility rules, enables the creation of arbitrary space-filling tessellations. The resulting metamaterials' mechanics are described using energetic considerations. Unusual emergent resetting behavior as well as generalization to 3D materials are explored.
