Content | Conventional material design focuses on engineering the chemistry and microstructure of solids. Metamaterials go beyond these classical approaches. They are artificial materials that are built from spatially structured building blocks, like lattice-truss architectures. The integration of these rational architectures at the material level grants metamaterials unique unconventional properties which are inaccessible with classical material designs. The course covers the fundamentals of the mechanics of different metamaterial architectures, discusses design principles and applicable fabrication techniques from the macro- to the nanoscale, as well as their interdependency, and considers emerging application scenarios in medicine, aerospace, microsystem technology, and mobility. The students learn
