 4:30pm ET Speaker: Carlos Portela Affiliation: Associate Professor\, MIT M
 echanical Engineering Host: Professor Xuanhe Zhao Talk title: Toward new a
 rchitected-material frontiers: unconventional designs and extreme conditio
 ns Abstract: Over the past two decades\, many realizations of architected 
 materials (or mechanical metamaterials) have enabled new combinations of p
 roperties that are inaccessible to conventional materials. This ability to
  control the effective properties of materials by primarily dictating thei
 r 3D nano- or microstructure—instead of their chemical composition—has
  substantially enhanced the engineering materials design space. Most contr
 ibutions to date have leveraged periodic\, ordered microstructures to atta
 in these properties\, but recent research efforts have highlighted the nee
 d for aperiodic and disordered microstructures to enable enhanced response
 s beyond the linear-elastic regime. Historically\, there…\n\nhttps://loc
