We design two-dimensional (2D) mechanical metamaterials that may be deformed substantially at little or no energy cost. Examples of such deformable structures are assemblies of rigid isosceles triangles hinged in their corners on the…
It is shown that for any positive integer k and positive parameter lambda less than 2/k(k+1), the Poisson distribution of order k with parameter lambda has a unique mode, 0. In addition, the Poisson distribution of order 2 has a unique…

The ratio of the sigma mass to the pion mass at finite temperatures and densities provides for a quantitative signal of chiral symmetry breaking. We calculate this ratio by using an extension to finite chemical potential of the field…

The existence of a symmetric mode in an elastic solid wedge for all admissible values of the Poisson ratio and arbitrary openings close to $\pi$ has been proven.
Despite their outstanding mechanical properties, with many industrial applications, a rational and systematic design of new and controlled auxetic materials remains poorly developed. Here a unified framework is established to describe…
The Poisson distribution of order $k$ is a special case of a compound Poisson distribution. For $k=1$ it is the standard Poisson distribution. Our main result is a proof that for sufficiently small values of the rate parameter $\lambda$,…
This note analyzes properties of the median $\nu$ of the Poisson distribution of order $k$. Given a value for the median in the interval $\nu\in[1,k]$, an equation to calculate the corresponding value of the rate parameter $\lambda$ is…
The elastic properties of a material with spherical voids of equal volume are analysed using a new model, with particular attention paid to the hexagonal close-packed and the face-centred cubic arrangement of voids. Void fractions well…
Let $A$ be a set of natural numbers. Recent work has suggested a strong link between the additive energy of $A$ (the number of solutions to $a_1 + a_2 = a_3 + a_4$ with $a_i \in A$) and the metric Poissonian property, which is a fine-scale…
Anisotropic laminates with a negative Poisson's ratio for at least some directions are called auxetic. In this paper, we consider the conditions for optimizing the auxeticity of an orthotropic laminate, namely: for a laminate composed by a…
The ability to control forces between sub-micron-scale building blocks offers considerable potential for designing new materials through self-assembly. A typical paradigm is to first identify a particular (crystal) structure that has some…
