contents Long range order and symmetry in heterogeneous materials architected on crystal lattices lead to elastic and inelastic anisotropies and thus limit mechanical functionalities in particular crystallographic directions. Here, we present a facile approach for designing heterogeneous disordered materials that exhibit nearly isotropic mechanical resilience and energy dissipation capabilities. We demonstrate, through experiments and numerical simulations on 3D-printed prototypes, that near-complete isotropy can be attained in the proposed heterogeneous materials with a small, finite number of random spatial points. We also show that adding connectivity between random subdomains leads to much enhanced elastic stiffness, plastic strength, energy dissipation, shape recovery, structural stability and reusability in our new heterogeneous materials. Overall, our study opens avenues for the rational design of a new class of heterogeneous materials with isotropic mechanical functionalities for which the engineered disorder throughout the subdomains plays a crucial role.
