TechnicalRemarks: ### General Information
This repository contains additional research data contributing to the doctoral thesis
"On topological mechanics of 3D chiral metamaterials"
by J. Köpfler.
Further data of related publications (DOIs: 10.1002/adma.202103205 and 10.1103/PhysRevApplied.11.034059) can be found in
the corresponding repository (DOI: 10.5445/IR/1000135066).
Folder structure:
The data in each folder is sorted in subfolders corresponding to the chapters of the doctoral thesis
Fabrication
- contains the 3D printing files for the microstructure casts (double-sided support mirror structure) and a file that was used to design the 3D microcast
Calculations
- contains the files for the Matlab scripts and COMSOL files for the FEM-calculations
Experiments
- contains the image series that was acquired for the evaluation of the resonance of the double-sided support mirror structure
- contains the scripts to extract displacement data and generate the resonance plots etc.
Experimental data treatment:
Image cross-correlation was performed using the "grid_generator_" functions on the digital images, followed by the "automate_images_" functions.
The resulting datasets "validx.dat" and "validy.dat" for the tracked x- and y-displacements are loaded, processed, collected, and plotted via the specific "combine_parts_" functions in the individual measurement folders.
