DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dennis M. Kochmann\n\nMechanics and Materials Laboratory
 \, ETH Zürich\n\n \n\n \nAbstract: Architected materials (often referre
 d to as mechanical metamaterials) have gained tremendous attention over th
 e past decade. Across engineering disciplines\, the modeling\, design\, fa
 brication\, and characterization of such cellular solids\, which derive th
 eir properties from small-scale structural architecture\, has resulted in 
 a myriad of materials systems with as-designed\, optimized mechanical prop
 erties – from high stiffness- and strength-to-weight ratios to energy ab
 sorption and wave guidance all the way to active and smart reconfigurabili
 ty. The dream has been to revolutionize our approach to selecting material
 s for engineering applications: away from property look-up tables for avai
 lable materials\, towards the on-demand creation of novel architected mate
 rials with controllable or extreme properties and functionality. Focusing 
 on mechanical properties\, we will discuss to what extent this has become 
 the new reality and what challenges we are facing. We will highlight recen
 t examples of modeling and reverse-engineering architected materials with 
 tunable stiffness\, toughness\, wave motion\, shape morphing\, and more\, 
 and we present experimental examples of their realization and application.
  This sets the stage for discussing what has been achieved and what lies a
 head.
