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 describes the development, manufacturing and testing of a zero Poisson's ratio
PEEK cellular structure (AuxHex) made using Kirigami-inspired techniques. The AuxHex …

The molecular deformation and crystal orientation of a range of next generation regenerated
cellulose fibers, produced from an ionic liquid solvent spinning system, are correlated with …

Before discussing potential synergies between HCI and material science, we should first
summarize the various types of shape-changing technologies:• Elastomers: Highly …

Honeycomb sandwich panels are widely used for high performance parts subject to bending
loads, but their manufacturing costs remain high. In particular, for parts with non-flat, non …

Plate lattices are high-performance lightweight structures, exhibiting up to twice the yield
strength and stiffness compared to truss lattices of similar geometric arrangement and …

With the developing technologies, the design process can now be carried out in
computational environments with an interdisciplinary approach. Thus, technological …

The aerospace segment makes large use of cellular structures in sandwich panels, which
are known to possess good stiffness while saving weight. Metallic cores are currently being …

Honeycomb sandwich panels are well known to provide interesting static out of plane
properties because of their high equivalent stiffness whilst containing mass and for this …

Kirigami is the ancient Japanese art of cutting and folding paper, widespread in Asia since
the 17th century. Kirigami offers a broader set of geometries and topologies than classical …
