Soft network materials consisting of filamentary horseshoe microstructures represent a class
of architected materials of practical interest in flexible, bio-integrated electronics, because …

Vibration suppression at subwavelength scales is of great interest in acoustic and/or elastic
metamaterial engineering which has a wide range of potential applications requiring …

Hierarchy provides unique opportunities for the design of advanced materials with superior
properties that arise from architecture, rather than from constitutive material response …

Bioinspired hierarchical design principles have been employed to create advanced
architected materials. Here, a new type of truss‐plate‐hybrid two‐level hierarchical …

Hierarchical structures with constituents over multiple length scales are found in various
natural materials like bones, shells, spider silk and others, all of which display enhanced …

We describe in this work a composite metamaterial with a hierarchical topology made by
tessellating perforations that exhibit an auxetic (negative Poisson's ratio) behaviour. We …

Spider silk is a remarkable example of bio-material with superior mechanical characteristics.
Its multilevel structural organization of dragline and viscid silk leads to unusual and tunable …

The application of metamaterial in civil engineering to achieve isolation of a building by
controlling the propagation of seismic waves is a substantial challenge because seismic …

For the purpose of low-frequency vibration isolation and noise reduction, combined with the
nested mode of spider web, a new concave star bionic acoustic metamaterial was proposed …

In this study, the band structure and directional characteristics of the hexagonal lattice with
Koch snowflake are investigated. The finite element method and Bloch theorem are used to …
