One of the applications of mechanical metamaterials is in car tires, as a non-pneumatic tire
(NPT). Therefore, to find a suitable cell to replace the pneumatic part of the tire, three …

In non-pneumatic tires, metamaterial cells could replace the pneumatic part of the tire. In this
research, to achieve a metamaterial cell suitable for a non-pneumatic tire with the objective …

The design protocols of meso-structures to satisfy given properties have been an interesting
area in material science. Having various mechanical properties by modifying the topology of …

A classical re-entrant cell is a type of metamaterial known as auxetic. While the most
unusual and advantageous feature of auxetic materials is that they have negative Poisson's …

This paper presents a comparative study on the size optimization of four mesostructures to
meet the design requirements for a nonpneumatic tire's (NPT) shear beam with 10% shear …

The evolution of meso-structures in the development of the shear band of Michelin's non-
pneumatic tire, the Tweel, is presented in this paper. Designers and researchers at Clemson …

This article presents the design of a metamaterial for the shear layer of a nonpneumatic tire
using topology optimization, under stress and buckling constraints. These constraints are …

Much research has been conducted on effective elastic properties of meso-scaled periodic
cellular material (MPCM) structures; however, there is only limited research providing …

Much research has been conducted on effective elastic properties of meso-scaled periodic
cellular material (MPCM) structures; however, limited research is found in the literature for …

The present experimental effort aims to determine the thermohydraulic performance of a
rectangular solar air heater duct with V-shaped ribs staggered over the absorber plate. The …
