Enriched buckling for beam-lattice metamaterials
VA Eremeyev, E Turco - Mechanics Research Communications, 2020 - Elsevier
We discuss two examples of beam-lattice metamaterials which show attractive mechanical
properties concerning their enriched buckling. The first one considers pantographic beams …
