BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Disclosed is a method of operating a manufacturing machine for manufactured article with the aid of an inverse design machine, the method comprising: providing the inverse design machine with a primary structure for a manufactured article and with impact-mitigating properties for the manufacturing machine, the primary structure comprising a plurality of structural members arranged in the primary structure that collectively provide primary properties to the manufactured article and that comprise a primary shear modulus and a primary bulk modulus that provide a primary torsional rigidity and a primary compression rigidity of the manufactured article being made by the manufactured article; and the impact-mitigating properties comprising an impact-mitigating shear modulus and an impact-mitigating bulk modulus that provide an impact-mitigating torsional rigidity and an impact-mitigating compression rigidity for the manufactured article being made by the manufacturing machine, such that the impact-mitigating properties provide the manufactured article with greater structural impact mitigation than the primary properties; receiving the primary structure from a primary designer; initiating a point-by-point analysis on the primary structure in the inverse design machine; determining the primary properties of the primary structure with a primary structure analyzer of the inverse design machine; receiving, by a structure adjuster of the inverse design machine, the primary properties from the primary structure analyzer and the impact-mitigating properties from a structural property manager of the inverse design machine; adjusting, by the structure adjuster, the structural members in the primary structure until the structural members collectively conform to the impact-mitigating properties such that the primary structure is structurally modified into a designer impact-mitigating architectured isotropic structure that comprises the impact-mitigating properties; controlling the operation manufacturing machine in accordance with the designer impact-mitigating architectured isotropic structure by the inverse design machine; and forming, by the manufacturing machine under control of the designer impact-mitigating architectured isotropic structure from the inverse design machine, the manufactured article that comprises the designer impact-mitigating architectured isotropic structure instead of the primary structure.
