One of the areas that have benefited the most from the advent of additive manufacturing is
the development of customized cellular materials, scaffolds and lattices. Although these …

The expansion of conventional prosthetic skin grafts has been quantified to be very low and
insufficient for treating large and severe burn injuries with small amounts of available donor …

Explosion threat has a devastating impact on buildings, warships, vehicles and human lives,
which puts forward urgent requirements for the development of explosion protection …

Both 2D and 3D re-entrant designs are among the well-known prevalent auxetic structures
exhibiting negative Poisson's ratio. The present study introduces novel analytical …

Direct ink writing is a 3D printing method that is compatible with a wide range of structural,
elastomeric, electronic, and living materials, and it continues to expand its uses into physics …

To obtain materials or metamaterials with desired elastic properties that are tailor-made for a
particular application, it is necessary to design a new material or composite (which may be …

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

The paper presents an analysis of rotating rigid unit (RRU) auxetic structures, the special
property of which is negative Poisson's ratio. The crucial features of such modified structures …

The design representations of lattice structures are fundamental to the development of
computational design approaches. Current applications of lattice structures are …

Currently, metal is the most common exterior material used in robot development due to the
need to protect the motor. However, as soft, wearable, and humanoid robots are gradually …
