Multifunctional twisted kagome lattices: Tuning by pruning mechanical metamaterials

Multifunctional twisted kagome lattices: Tuning by pruning mechanical metamaterials

This article investigates phonons and elastic response in randomly diluted lattices constructed by combining (via the addition of next-nearest bonds) a twisted kagome lattice, with bulk modulus $B=0$ and shear modulus $G>0$, with either a generalized untwisted kagome lattice with $B>0$ and $G>0$ or with a honeycomb lattice with $B>0$ …
