Abstract
En 中文
Interlocking metasurfaces (ILMs) are architected arrays of mating features that enable joining of two bodies. Complementary to traditional joining technologies such as bolts, adhesives, and welds, ILMs combine ease of assembly, removal, and reassembly with robust mechanical properties. Structural in nature, they act in a quasi-continuous manner across a surface and enable joining of complex surfaces, e.g., lattices. In this perspective, we define an ILM, begin exploring the design domain and illustrate its breath, and pragmatically evaluate mechanical performance and manufacturability. ILMs will find applications in various fields from aerospace to micro-robotics, civil engineering, and prosthetics.
