Defect positioning in combinatorial metamaterials
Combinatorial mechanical metamaterials are made of anisotropic, flexible blocks, such that multiple metamaterials may be constructed using a single block type, and the system's response depends on the...

Defect Positioning in Combinatorial Metamaterials combined rigorous mathematical analysis with Yotam Feldman and Guy Cohen’s ability to translate our questions on mechanical incompatibility within the metamaterial to a constraint satisfaction problem.

Breaking Mechanical Holography in Combinatorial Metamaterials started from Naomi Spiro’s undergraduate summer project and Ofri Palti’s highschool final project. Breaking the link between the lattice's boundary & inside allows to design deformation texture on the entire boundary.

2) Defect Positioning in Combinatorial Metamaterials – for most block types we can position defects anywhere we want in 2D and in 3D, but with some we can only get any topology of knotted defect lines, but not any geometry
