Journal ArticleDOI
An Enhanced Three-Dimensional Auxetic Lattice Structure with Improved Property.
TL;DR: The enhanced auxetic lattice structure was found to exhibit superior mechanical behaviors compared to the 3D re-entrant lattices structure and the compressive property of the enhanced structure also exhibited obvious dependence on the base material and compression directions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic simulations of potentially auxetic liquid-crystalline polymers incorporating swivelling mesogens
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of main-chain polymers containing two types of mesogen, one orientated in line with the chain (end-to-end) and the other passing at right angles through it, were simulated under stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homogenization towards chiral Cosserat continua and applications to enhanced Timoshenko beam theories
TL;DR: In this article, a homogenization methodology for the construction of effective Cosserat substitution media for heterogeneous materials is proposed, combining a variational principle in linear elasticity with the extended Hill-Mandel lemma accounting for the introduced generalized kinematics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel hybrid auxetic structures for improved in- plane mechanical properties via additive manufacturing
Kusum Meena,Sarat Singamneni +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a novel S-shaped unit cell based auxetic structure is hybridized with star re-entrant unit cells and analyzed both numerically and experimentally based on physical forms produced by selective laser melting as part of the research reported here.

In-plane mechanical behaviors of 2D repetitive frameworks with four-coordinate flexible joints and elbowed beam members
Hiro Tanaka,Yoji Shibutani +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between joint flexibility and Poisson's ratio was clarified and two types of in-plane anisotropic structures made up of four-coordinate flexible joints and elbowed beam members were discussed.
