Abstract
Applying hierarchical cuts to thin sheets of elastomer generates super-stretchable and reconfigurable metamaterials, exhibiting highly nonlinear stress-strain behaviors and tunable phononic bandgaps. The cut concept fails on brittle thin sheets due to severe stress concentration in the rotating hinges. By engineering the local hinge shapes and global hierarchical structure, cut-based reconfigurable metamaterials with largely enhanced strength are realized.Keywords: hierarchically cut hinges; nonlinear and tailorable mechanical properties; reconfigurable metamaterials; stretchable metamaterials; tunable phononic bandgap
