Gradient optimization of a four-pointed star-shaped zero-Poisson’s-ratio honeycomb structure

Morphing-wing structures require an optimal balance among large deformation capability, out-of-plane load bearing, and low structural mass while eliminating parasitic transverse warping. This study presents a gradient-tailoring optimization framework for a four-pointed star-shaped zero-Poisson’s-ratio honeycomb core ap...
