Simulation and Analysis of Stiffened Auxetic Honeycombs Having Enhanced High Impact Velocity Response

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
The ballistic resistance of auxetic re‐entrant honeycomb structures can be significantly improved through geometric tailoring and structural reinforcement. Vertical and horizontal stiffening ribs enhanced the ballistic performance, increasing the energy absorption efficiency by 119.45% and the projectile velocity reduction by 281.36%, ultimately ...

Auxetic structures in civil engineering applications: Experimental (by 3D printing) and numerical investigation of mechanical behavior

Results in Materials
Auxetic materials are a group of metamaterials that have a negative Poisson's ratio. The most important advantage of auxetics over conventional materials is higher energy absorption. Consequently, in Civil Engineering, a wide range of applications may be

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 35, 18 September 2026.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...
