A novel lightweight tetrachiral metamaterial enabled by additive manufacturing for tunable mechanical response
Tetrachiral cylindrical metamaterials exhibit unique deformation characteristics arising from their rotational unit-cell topology and continuous ligament network. While their global mechanical behavior is strongly governed by geometric parameters, the specific influence of ligament thickness on compressive performance...
