Capability of auxetic femoral stems to reduce stress shielding after total hip arthroplasty
Background: Stress shielding (SS) is considered the main mechanical cause of femoral stem loosening after total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study introduces an auxetic lattice femoral stem structure with negative Poisson's ratio that can expand ...

Auxetic two-dimensional lattice with Poisson's Ratio arbitrarily close to -1
In this paper we propose a new lattice structure having macroscopic Poisson's ratio arbitrarily close to the stability limit -1. We tested experimentally the effective Poisson's ratio of the micro-structured medium; the uniaxial test has been performed ...

Elastic constants of 3-, 4- and 6-connected chiral and anti-chiral honeycombs subject to uniaxial in-plane loading [PDF]
Finite Element models are developed for the in-plane linear elastic constants of a family of honeycombs comprising arrays of cylinders connected by ligaments. Honeycombs having cylinders with 3, 4 and 6 ligaments attached to them are considered, with two

A 2D metamaterial with auxetic out-of-plane behavior and non-auxetic in-plane behavior
Customarily, in-plane auxeticity and synclastic bending behavior (i.e. out-of-plane auxeticity) are not independent, being the latter a manifestation of the former. Basically, this is a feature of three-dimensional bodies.

Constructing an overall dynamical model for a system with changing design parameter properties [PDF]
This study considers the identification problem for a class of non-linear parameter-varying systems associated with the following scenario: the system behaviour depends on some specifically prescribed parameter properties, which are adjustable.

Fixed-Connectivity Membranes [PDF]
The statistical mechanics of flexible surfaces with internal elasticity and shape fluctuations is summarized. Phantom and self-avoiding isotropic and anisotropic membranes are discussed, with emphasis on the universal negative Poisson ratio common to the

A Topology Optimization Framework for the Inverse Design of Nonlinear Mechanical Metamaterials
This work uses topology optimization to design unit cells for mechanical metamaterials with a prescribed nonlinear stress–strain response. The framework adds contact and postbuckling modeling to synthesize microstructures for three highly nonlinear responses, including pseudoductile behavior, monostable with snap‐through buckling, and bistable ...
