--- _id: '7757' abstract: - lang: eng text: Recent advances in designing metamaterials have demonstrated that global mechanical properties of disordered spring networks can be tuned by selectively modifying only a small subset of bonds. Here, using a computationally efficient approach, we extend this idea to tune more general properties of networks. With nearly complete success, we are able to produce a strain between any two target nodes in a network in response to an applied source strain on any other pair of nodes by removing only ∼1% of the bonds. We are also able to control multiple pairs of target nodes, each with a different individual response, from a single source, and to tune multiple independent source/target responses simultaneously into a network. We have fabricated physical networks in macroscopic 2D and 3D systems that exhibit these responses. This work is inspired by the long-range coupled conformational changes that constitute allosteric function in proteins. The fact that allostery is a common means for regulation in biological molecules suggests that it is a relatively easy property to develop through evolution. In analogy, our results show that long-range coupled mechanical responses are similarly easy to achieve in disordered networks. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Jason W. full_name: Rocks, Jason W. last_name: Rocks - first_name: Nidhi full_name: Pashine, Nidhi last_name: Pashine - first_name: Irmgard full_name: Bischofberger, Irmgard last_name: Bischofberger - first_name: Carl Peter full_name: Goodrich, Carl Peter id: EB352CD2-F68A-11E9-89C5-A432E6697425 last_name: Goodrich orcid: 0000-0002-1307-5074 - first_name: Andrea J. full_name: Liu, Andrea J. last_name: Liu - first_name: Sidney R. full_name: Nagel, Sidney R. last_name: Nagel citation: ama: Rocks JW, Pashine N, Bischofberger I, Goodrich CP, Liu AJ, Nagel SR.
