The existing scale of the structure ranges from microscale to macroscale [1,2]. Lattice struc...
However, there is no theoretical support for the design of coupling behaviors based on the constitutive behavior of lattice structures. Exploring a planar non-centrosymmetric square lattice, we find a novel coupling effect: a compression-induced bending, which a micropolar continuum model can support....
