Metamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).

By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.

Strontium coating by electrochemical deposition improves implant osseointegration in osteopenic models

Osteopenia, a preclinical state of osteoporosis, restricts the application of adult orthodontic implant anchorage and tooth implantation. Strontium (Sr) is able to promote bone formation and inhibit bone absorption. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a new method for improving the success rate of dental implantation. In this study, an electrochemical deposition (ECD) method was used t...

Acoustic Switches: Harnessing Deformation to Switch On and Off the Propagation of Sound (Adv. Mater. 8/2016).

Isosurfaces of sound waves traveling through an architected material proposed by K. Bertoldi and co-workers on page 1631 are depicted. The material comprises a square array of elastomeric helices in background air and acts as an on/off acoustic switch. It is characterized by frequency ranges of strong wave attenuation (bandgaps) in the undeformed configuration. Upon deformation, the initial ban...

Integration of MATER and EMF

This paper describes how to integrate EMF with the MATER metamodelling framework. It covers first, how EMF is used to implement MATER. Then XMI model import to MATER is described including import of EMF models. Finally, the direct integration on meta-model level is discussed.
