Once merely ancient arts, origami (ie, paper folding) and kirigami (ie, paper cutting) have in
recent years also become popular for building mechanical metamaterials and now provide …

The review outlines modern trends in theoretical developments, novel designs and modern
applications of sandwich structures. The most recent work published at the time of writing of …

This is an overview of current research in origami applied to mechanical engineering.
Fundamental concepts and definitions commonly used in origami are introduced, including …

Mechanical metamaterials exhibit unusual properties through the shape and movement of
their engineered subunits. This work presents a new investigation of the Poisson's ratios of a …

This work presents a novel negative Poisson's ratio honeycomb design composed by two
parts (a re-entrant hexagonal component and a thin plate part) that provide separate …

Wireless and highly sensitive flexible strain sensors would have widespread application
across a number of different fields. Here, the novel combination of two different …

This work presents a novel zero in-plane Poisson's ratio honeycomb design for large out-of-
plane deformations and morphing. The novel honeycomb topology is composed by two …

Advanced sandwich structures have emerged as new multifunctional structures with low
density and good mechanical performance. Sandwich composites have high strength to …

In this paper, a novel cylindrical metamaterial exhibiting zero Poisson's ratio in two different
directions is introduced. Detailed CAD modelling of a curved Fish-Cells necessary for …

This paper reports a new annular honeycomb that shows tunable Poisson's ratio. The
presented honeycombs can provide both the in-plane negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) and in …
