Mechanical metamaterials are an extraordinary class of materials that harness their unusual characteristics from the geometrical features. Herein, we report a design strategy to decipher anisotropic and aperiodic nonwovens as auxetic metamaterials by carefully decorating with the slit perforations in a ...

In this ...
mechanical metamaterialsmechanical propertiesPoisson's ratiorotating rigid unitsIn this work, we investigate the deformation mechanism of auxetic hierarchical rotating square systems through a dynamics approach. We show how their deformation behaviour, hence their mechanical properties and final configuration ...
