Chiral-based mechanical metamaterial with tunable normal-strain shear coupling effect

Mathias Fleisch et al.

Summary: Different designs of mechanical metamaterials with tunable normal-strain shear coupling effect have been demonstrated. These designs have adjustable shear deformation and can be used in soft robotics applications or structures with desired deformation behavior. The modified 2.5D and 3D chiral-based mechanical metamaterials with tunable normal-strain shear coupling effect and near-zero Poisson's Ratios are presented. The designs incorporate additional geometric freedoms to achieve a broad range of shear deformations, compression moduli, and porosities.

An optimization approach to design deformation patterns in perforated mechanical metamaterials using distributions of Poisson's ratio-based unit cells

Jianfei Yao et al.

Summary: A method is proposed to design deformation patterns in perforated structures by optimizing the distribution of Poisson's ratio-based unit cells. By optimizing the permutation and combination of homogenized local Poisson's ratios, a two-dimensional perforated structure that satisfies the required deformation pattern can be obtained. Simulation and experiments demonstrate that this approach can provide controllable shape changes in 2D perforated mechanical metamaterials under uniaxial tensile loading.

Vladislav A. Lvov et al.

Summary: Auxetic metamaterials with a negative Poisson ratio have the properties of lateral expansion when stretched and densification when compressed. Due to their similarity to biological tissues, auxetics have potential applications in the field of medicine. This research study provides a comprehensive overview of auxetic metamaterials in biomedical devices, including prosthetics, orthotics, ergonomic appliances, in vitro medical devices, and tissue engineering scaffolds.

Tensor interpolation in virtual manufacturing chains for fiber reinforced composites

Constantin Krauss et al.

Summary: Fiber-reinforced plastics have excellent mechanical properties that make them suitable for structural components. This study explores interpolation techniques to preserve tensor characteristics in numerical simulations. A decomposition-based interpolation method is proposed and evaluated in the context of short fiber-reinforced injection molding. The results show that conventional component-wise interpolation can introduce significant biases, while the proposed method reduces systematic interpolation errors.

Active design of chiral cell structures that undergo complex deformation under uniaxial loads

Xi Liang et al.

Summary: This paper presents the design of various cellular structures that deform under uniaxial load using the deformation vector addition principle of chiral cells. The designs were verified through finite element analyses and experiments. The research shows that structures with different deformation demands can be designed through the assembly of chiral cells, which has potential applications in variant structure design.

Asymmetric chiral and antichiral mechanical metamaterials with tunable Poisson's ratio

Mathias Fleisch et al.

Summary: Mechanical metamaterials with zero or negative Poisson's ratio have gained increasing research interest. They have potential applications in impact and dampening applications, drug delivery systems, and wound management. The study presents an extension to common auxetic structures by introducing asymmetry in the unit cell design, resulting in variable Poisson's ratio. Experimental and numerical analysis demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
