Modular design of curved beam-based recyclable architected materials.

ABSTRACT: Advances in manufacturing technologies have enabled architected materials with unprecedented properties. These materials are typically irreversibly designed and fabricated with characteristic geometries and specific mechanical properties, thus rendering them suitable for pre-specified requests. However, these materials cannot be recycled or reconstructed into different shapes and functionalities to economically adapt to various environments. Hence, we present a modular design strategy to create a category of recyclable architected materials comprising elastic initially curved beams and rigid cylindrical magnets. Based on numerical analyses and physical prototypes, we introduce an arc-serpentine curved beam (ASCB) and systematically investigate its mechanical properties. Subsequently, we de
