Drafts, papers to be submitted

We are currently finalizing a draft that examines how structures deform globally with respect to their local topology. Through theoretical understanding, numerical computations, and experimental testing, we demonstrate that the metamaterial topology alone determines whether the structure buckles or undergoes barreling when compressed by an external force.
