Orthodontic tooth movement is the fundamental phenomenon underlying the treatment of
dental malocclusions. For orthodontic treatment to be efficient and effective, the amount of …

This study encompasses experimental and theoretical research on the stability of tensegrity-
inspired structures in view of additive manufacturing technology. The aim of the research is …

The advantage of high strength-to-mass ratio renders tensegrity structures suitable for
application as lightweight structures. Therefore, the minimal mass optimization problem is …

Multistable metamaterials have several relevant technical applications in various fields, such
as soft robotics, mechanical computing, energy absorption, and wave control. These …

This study investigates the propagation of rarefaction solitary waves in one-dimensional,
tensegrity-like mass-spring lattices that are subject to an initial state of pre-compression. The …

In the paper an analytical energy based approach to determination of the mechanical
response of a compressed tensegrity Simplex is presented. Moreover, the Simplex is treated …

Pentamodes lattice structures are very interesting types of structures that present high
resistance to compressive deformation relatively to small resistance to shear deformation …

This paper presents a new rapid prototyping technique for pentamode lattices confined
between terminal plates, along with an experimental characterization of the vertical load …

Acoustic metamaterials have the advantages of designability, strong pertinency, small size
and good effect, and have good application value in solving the problem of sound insulation …

A recent study has presented a Maxwell mass–spring model for a chain formed by two
different types of tensegrity prisms alternating with lumped masses. Such a model shows …
