Oppenheim Award: Geometric Theory of Mechanical Screening
ORAL · Invited
Abstract
The mechanics of familiar states of matter, such as fluids and solids, are well-described by classical and statistical field theories. However, disordered solids, mechanical metamaterials, and cellular tissues are notable examples of systems whose mechanics remain poorly understood and lack a comprehensive theoretical framework.
In this talk, I will present a generic geometric framework that provides a foundation for developing new theories grounded in geometric conservation laws. Specifically, I will demonstrate how breaking these conservation laws offers a direct pathway to understanding the anomalous mechanics of disordered solids, mechanical metamaterials, and cellular tissue models.
