A construction system for mechanical metamaterials based on discrete assembly of a finite set of modular, mass-produced parts. A modular construction scheme enables a range of mechanical metamaterial properties to be achieved, including rigid, compliant, auxetic and chiral, all of which are assembled with a consistent process across part types, thereby expanding the functionality and accessibility of this approach. The incremental nature of discrete assembly enables mechanical metamaterials to be produced efficiently and at low cost, beyond the scale of the 3D printer. Additionally, a lattice structure constructed of two or more rigid, compliant, auxetic and chiral part types enable the creation of heterogenous macroscopic metamaterial structures.

The invention relates to a method of separating at least one portion of a metallic part (3) glued to a composite material part (2) of the carbon-epoxy type, comprising a step to degrade the glued interface between the metallic part (3) and the composite material part (2). The metallic part (3) and the composite material part (2) are electrically connected to a dc electrical voltage generator so that an electrical potential difference can be applied to them to generate partial discharges in the glued interface to degrade the interface.
