Auxetic structures, a class of metamaterials, exhibit a unique negative Poisson's ratio
behavior. Their mechanical properties demonstrate considerable potential for applications in …

Poisson's ratio in auxetic materials shifts from typically positive to negative, causing lateral
expansion during axial tension. This scale‐independent characteristic, originating from …

In maritime transportation, a fender acts like a bumper to absorb the kinetic energy of a boat
berthing against a jetty, pier wall, or other boats. They have high energy absorption and low …

Material-extrusion-based 3D printing with polylactic acid (PLA) has transformed the
production of lightweight lattice structures with a high strength-to-weight ratio for various …

Determining the elastic moduli of materials plays an important role in solving many structural
problems, such as vibration and buckling analyses of advanced laminate plates and shells …

A series of air explosion experiments were carried out on the 3D polyurea-coated auxetic
lattice sandwich panels in order to combine the advantages of auxetic materials and …

Heavily resource-reliant transportation and harsh living conditions, where humans cannot
survive without a proper habitat, have prevented humans from establishing colonies on the …

Recently, auxetic metastructures have gained considerable attention in various fields of
study due to their unique characteristics. This study aims to design and fabricate bioinspired …

Auxetic metamaterials, known for their unusual properties, are being explored as cores for
sandwich structures to improve impact resistance. This study investigated the low-velocity …

The planar missing rib lattice topology is generalized to construct a family of regular and
irregular tetra-chiral periodic lattices. The geometry of a lattice in the family is completely …
