In the past decade, mechanical metamaterials have garnered increasing attention owing to
its novel design principles which combine the concept of hierarchical architecture with …

Cellular structures are made up of an interconnected network of plates, struts, or small unit
cells and acquire many unique benefits such as, high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent …

Mechanical metamaterials are man-made structures with counterintuitive mechanical
properties that originate in the geometry of their unit cell instead of the properties of each …

The extremely high melting point of many ceramics adds challenges to additive
manufacturing as compared with metals and polymers. Because ceramics cannot be cast or …

Mechanical metamaterials can be defined as a class of architected materials that exhibit
unprecedented mechanical properties derived from designed artificial architectures rather …

Abstract In 1903, Alexander Graham Bell developed a design principle to generate
lightweight, mechanically robust lattice structures based on triangular cells; this has since …

ABSTRACT A lattice structure is a space-filling unit cell that can be tessellated along any
axis with no gaps between cells. These structures are an emerging solution to weight …

Metallic microlattice is a new class of material that combines useful mechanical properties of
metals with smart geometrical orientations providing greater stiffness, strength-to-weight …

Ultralight (< 10 milligrams per cubic centimeter) cellular materials are desirable for thermal
insulation; battery electrodes; catalyst supports; and acoustic, vibration, or shock energy …

A material strength depends on its microstructure, which in turn, is controlled by an
engineering process. Strengthening mechanisms like work hardening, precipitate, and grain …
