Mechanical metamaterials are metamaterials derived from their unique internal structures rather than the materials from which they are made. Inspiration for mechanical metamaterials design often comes from biological materials, from molecular and crystalline unit cell structures as well as the artistic fields of origami and kirigami. While early mechanical metamaterials had regular repeats of simple unit cell structures, increasingly complex units and architectures are now being explored. Mechanical metamaterials can be seen as a counterpart to optical metamaterials and electromagnetic metamaterials. Mechanical metamaterials are the broad umbrella term, defined by architected structures at nano, micro, meso, and macro scales that produce properties unattainable in conventional materials. Mechanical properties, including elasticity, viscoelasticity, thermoelasticity, and thermal conductivity, are key design targets in mechanical metamaterials.
