Achieving superior reusable energy absorption and mitigation properties under repeated
impact loadings with high strain rates, yet maintaining the lightweight design feature, is still a …

In recent years, mechanical metamaterials have shown good mechanical properties such as
ultralightness, programmable stiffness, and tunable Poisson's ratio through clever structural …

Porous solids are widely utilized in natural and engineering systems due to their exceptional
specific mechanical response and customizable properties. However, lightweight cellular …

Based on the principle of local resonance and the strategy of hybrid design, in this paper we
propose three truss-plate hybrid multifunctional lattice metamaterials featured by the cubic …

Drawing on the principles of energy convergence and local resonance, the acoustic black
hole (ABH) emerges as a promising unit cell within phononic crystals (PCs). It has the …

Engineering applications concurrently face challenges related to vibration, impact, load-
bearing and energy absorption. Here, an arch-honeycomb metamaterial with split-ring …

The design concept of integrating locally resonant metamaterials with sandwich plates has
demonstrated promising prospects in the development of lightweight, load-bearing …

This study concerns homogenisation-based stiffness optimisation with elastically isotropic
plate and truss-based lattice structures. Due to the lattices' isotropy, an optimised design can …

Residual stresses play detrimental roles in the mechanical performance of lattice-core
sandwich panels (LCSPs) via powder bed fusion (PBF), owing to the laser-induced high …
