contents Understanding thermal fluctuations yields insights into a wide range of behaviors in many-body systems. In this work, we analyze the dynamical adaptation of two-dimensional crystalline lattice system under harmonic interaction in response to the intricate interplay of thermal agitation and mechanical stress by developing the characteristic stress-absorbing quadrupole structures and stress-releasing fold structures. These thermally driven stress regulator structures serve as a tangible embodiment of thermal fluctuations, offering a unique perspective on the characterization and manipulation of the elusive fluctuations. Specifically, we reveal the stretch-driven alignment and linear accumulation of quadrupoles, characterize the formation and proliferation of folds, and present the phase diagram of the dynamical states defined by these characteristic structures. This work demonstrates the promising avenue of re-examining classical mechanical systems subject to thermal agitation, which is of fundamental physical interest and has potential practical significance in the design of mechanical devices in thermal environments.
