Designing and printing metamaterials with customizable architectures enables the
realization of unprecedented mechanical behaviors that transcend those of their constituent …

A generic analytical framework is proposed to obtain the dynamic elastic moduli of lattice
materials under steady-state vibration conditions. The dynamic deformation behaviour of the …

Architected lattice materials, realized through artificial micro‐structuring, have drawn
tremendous attention lately due to their enhanced mechanical performances in …

Metamaterials derive promising properties mainly from an internal micromechanical
mechanism, rather than their chemical composition. Many interesting mechanical behaviors …

This study investigates the effect of stress triaxiality on the failure mechanisms of an-isotropic
perfect and imperfect planar FCC (Face Centred Cubic) truss lattice metamaterials. Three …

Compact, solid-state energy dissipators are desirable for a broad range of applications
including automotive crashworthiness, protective equipment for sports and military …

Structural periodic lattices made of two or more dissimilar materials can be viewed
conceptually in terms of a spectrum of structure types, bounded by stretch-dominated lattices …

Steel jacket structures subjected to environmental impacts exhibit severe dynamic
responses, potentially causing local fatigue failure, plastic damage, and even catastrophic …

Composites such as architected metamaterials made from elastic materials can display
energy absorbing or dissipative behavior associated with snap-through and other …

Flexible viscoelastic foams with relative density in the range of 5-50% are widely used to
control interaction forces, notably in cushions for impact protection, shoes, mechanical …
