This study systematically investigates all possible mechanical couplings in 2D lattice structures and correlates them with point-group symmetry, which can enhance the design of mechanical metamaterials with potential applications.
Mechanical couplings such as axial-shear and axial-bending have great potential in the design of active mechanical metamaterials with directional control of input and output loads in sensors and actuators. However, the current ad hoc design of mechanical coupling without theoretical support of elasticity cannot provide design guidelines for mechanical coupling with lattice geometries. Moreover, the correlation between mechanical coupling effects and geometric symmetry is not yet clearly understood. In this work, we systematically search for all possible mechanical couplings in 2D lattice structures by determining the non-zero diagonal terms in the decomposed micropolar elasticity tensor. We also correlate the mechanical couplings with the point-group symmetry of 2D lattices by applying the symmetry operation to the decomposed micropolar elasticity tensor. The decoupled micropolar constitutive equation uncovers eight coupling effects for 2D lattice structures. The symmetry operation of the decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor reveals the correlation of the mechanical coupling with the point groups. Our findings can strengthen the design of mechanical metamaterials with potential applications in areas including sensors, actuators, soft robots, and active metamaterials for elastic/acoustic wave guidance and thermal management.
