Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a hyperelastic mechanical metamaterial for elastic energy dissipation. Energy is dissipated within its unit cells by friction assisted by material damping. Frictional contact is enhanced when using auxetic unit cells. The load–displacement plot for one compression cycle shows a pronounced hysteresis loop, indicating that a large ...
