Mechanical metamaterials such as origami or ordered 3D printed structures have shown
tremendous applications in science and technology. However, the main disadvantage of …

Recently, auxetic metamaterials have turned into an area of growing interest, because of
their deformation uniqueness, design flexibility, and functional diversity. To achieve their …

This paper presents a conceptual design and finite element (FE) simulation of a novel class
of negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) stents with hybrid auxetic structures fabricated by FDM 3D …

Hexagonal perforated honeycomb (HPH) metamaterials were designed, fabricated and
investigated in this work. Initially, the mechanical properties and deformation modes of …

The precise control of both the mechanical deformation and wave propagation
characteristics of metamaterial through design holds significant importance and presents a …

The aim of this study was to understand the effect of emulsion and protein incorporation on
the structural and melting properties of starch gels designed as model systems for specific …

An improved double-arrow auxetic honeycomb metamaterial (MDAH) with two-step
deformation mode was proposed and manufactured, and its in-plane crushing behavior was …

The development of plant-based meat analogues is an important aspect of the transition
towards using more plant proteins. Production of such products with texture (and rheology) …

Origami cylinders have been studied extensively under compression, however, their normal
force response under shear deformation is still ill-understood. We experimentally studied the …

Auxetic materials have a negative Poisson's ratio and are of significant interest in
applications that include impact mitigation, membrane separations and biomedical …
