The optimization problems that must meet more than one objective are called multi-objective
optimization problems and may present several optimal solutions. This manuscript brings …

The development of engineering technology puts forward more demanding requirements for
the performance of materials, many of which cannot be met by the existing natural materials …

This paper considers the 3D printing process as a discontinuous control system and gives a
simple and coherent bond stress-slip model for a new and intelligent building 3-D printed …

Mechanical metamaterials made of flexible building blocks can exhibit a plethora of extreme
mechanical responses, such as negative elastic constants, shape-changes …

This paper investigates the elastic wave propagation through soft materials that are being
subjected to finite deformations. The nonlinear elastic and linearized incremental theories …

The design process of 3D mechanical metamaterials is still an emerging field and in this
paper, we propose for the first time, a new design and optimisation approach based on 3D …

Abstract Design-by-Morphing (DbM) is a novel design methodology that creates a search
space for topology optimization. Traditional design techniques often impose geometric …

Abstract Machine intelligence continues to rise in popularity as an aid to the design and
discovery of novel metamaterials. The properties of metamaterials are essentially …

This paper presents a topology optimization method to construct adjustable thermal
expansion metamaterials. The negative thermal expansion (NTE) and extreme positive …

The engineered topological structures of the unit cell endow elastic metamaterials (EMMs)
with the extraordinary capability to attenuate elastic waves. In real-life scenarios, a practical …
