Engineering the shape and structure of materials by fractal cut
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Most materials can be stretched to a small degree, depending on their elastic limits and failure properties. For most materials the maximum elastic dilatation is very small, implying that the macroscopic shapes to which an elastic body can be deformed is severely limited. The present work addresses the simple modification of any material via hierarchical cut patterns to allow for extremely large strains and shape changes and a large range of macroscopic shapes. This is an important step in the development of shape-programmable materials. We provide the mathematical foundation, simulation results, and experimental demonstrations of the concept of fractal cut. This approach effectively broadens the design space for engineered materials for applications ranging from flexible/stretchable devices and photonic materials to bioscaffolds.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
