Animation of the tuned expansion response of the network in Fig. 3C. The source nodes are indicated in blue, and the target nodes are black. The network has been tuned to have a strain ratio of η= 1 in the linear regime. Here we calculate the full nonlinear response for oscillatory source strain of amplitude εmax= 40% by minimizing the nonlinear configurational energy (Supporting Information).
