Mechanical meta-material and tribology (MetaTrib) project: Structure- dominated/controlled frictional behaviour.

Cel

This proposal presents a novel concept to integrate mechanical meta-materials and tribology fields, to develop the next generation of adaptable tactile grippers. The project seeks to combine unique structural properties of mechanical meta-materials and contact mechanics properties of soft polymers to develop a new generation of grippers with controllable and switchable frictional properties. MetaTrib project will developed passive mechanical meta-material. Mechanical metamaterials are artificial structures with mechanical properties defined by their structure rather than their composition. Passive mechanical meta-material does not need additional external energy to answer to a stimulus, by opposition to active mechanical meta-material. The adaptability of the material is pre-programmed in the internal structure during conception and manufacturing step. This kind of smart material have the advantage to do not need additional actuator, electronic and all the control informatics system associate to realised given tasks. This is a great plus in many industries for a fast and efficient integration in the production line, to reduce product weight and price. This new class of materials may be made soft. So mechanical meta-materials provide compliance that is critical for adaptability. The MetaTrib project proposes to combine two areas of research: the tribology which studies the interaction between contacting surfaces in relative motion, and the meta-material mechanics which aims to develop new structural materials with unique properties. By experimenting and theoretically modelling, I envision to link contact mechanics behaviour of mechanical meta-materials to their internal microstructure. The simultaneous measurement of mechanical deformation and contact mechanics properties is the novelty of the MetaTrib project.
