Description
Summary:© 2020 IEEE. Active matter is ubiquitous in biology and becomes increasingly more important in materials science. While numerous active systems have been investigated in detail both experimentally and theoretically, general design principles for functional active materials are still lacking. Building on a recently developed linear response optimization (LRO) framework, we here demonstrate that the spectra of nonlinear active mechanical and electric circuits can be designed similarly to those of linear passive networks.
