A design method of 3D printed auxetic structures with enhanced mechanical tunability
Auxetic materials have garnered attention due to their novel behavior under deformation and numerous other material properties
such as fracture resistance
shear resistance
and energy absorption. By integrating hyperelastic materials with auxetic structures
the highly deformable capability enables the design of structures with enhanced mechanical tunability. To this end
a design methodology for 3D printed auxetic structures with improved mechanical adjustability was proposed. The in-plane compressive behavior of the designed structures was investigated through test and numerical analyses. The results demonstrate that
compared to conventional auxetic structures
the composite material with auxetics structures exhibits higher stiffness and enhanced energy absorption performance. By further adjusting the distribution and amplitude of sinusoidal ligaments
auxetic structures with tunable energy absorption
Poisson ratio
and deformation modes were generated. This study presents a design approach for improving the mechanical properties and energy absorption of lightweight structures.
