Theoretical search for heterogeneously architected 2D structures.

ABSTRACT: Architected 2D structures are of growing interest due to their unique mechanical and physical properties for applications in stretchable electronics, controllable phononic/photonic modulators, and switchable optical/electrical devices; however, the underpinning theory of understanding their elastic properties and enabling principles in search of emerging structures with well-defined arrangements and/or bonding connections of assembled elements has yet to be established. Here, we present two theoretical frameworks in mechanics-strain energy-based theory and displacement continuity-based theory-to predict the elastic properties of 2D structures and demonstrate their application in a search for novel architected 2D structures that are composed of heterogeneously arranged, arbitrarily shaped l
