Constructional design of echinoid endoskeleton: main structural components and their potential for biomimetic applications
The endoskeleton of echinoderms (Deuterostomia: Echinodermata) is of mesodermal origin
and consists of cells, organic components, as well as an inorganic mineral matrix. The …

Kinematic Modeling of a Flat-foldable Auxetic Metamaterial
Although many metamaterials can change shape, this flexibility often comes at the expense
of the structural integrity which is difficult to preserve in their reconfigured mode. In this work …
