Auxetic cellular structures have garnered huge research interest as a candidate for energy
absorption due to their appealing features, including extremely high indentation resistance …

Metaplates, ie 2D extruded structures made by a periodic repetition of unit cells that exhibit a
complete and wide 3D bandgap, are attracting increasing interest thanks to the variety of …

The focus of this paper is on elastic metamaterials characterised by the presence of wide
sub-wavelength band gap. In most cases, such mechanical property is strictly connected to …

This paper focuses on identifying parameters for optimized distributions of local internal
resonators to enhance the vibro-acoustic performance of anti-tetra-chiral auxetic sandwich …

As we all know, compression in one direction will cause expansion in the orthogonal
direction for conventional materials. Similarly, stretching in one direction will give rise to …

In this paper, we study vibro-acoustic behavior of auxetic sandwich panels subjected to
different excitations and boundary conditions. The core of this panel has the auxetic feature …

This work develops a morphing concept that utilises a metamaterial as the passive morphing
device for helicopter blades. The metamaterials are created with bend–twist coupling, which …

With in mind microstructures exhibiting unconventional macroscopic mechanical behaviors,
characterized by overall auxetic responses and strain localization due to local elastic …

The optimization of thermo-pneumatic microvalves (TPMs) remains a significant challenge in
microfluidic device development, primarily due to the complex interactions between various …

Auxetic materials showing a negative Poisson's ratio can offer unusual sensing capabilities
due to drastic percolation changes. This study presents the capacitive response of wet …
