A Novel Twofold Symmetry Architected Metamaterials with High Compressibility and Negative Poisson's Ratio

This study presents the compression response of additively manufactured novel soft porous structures with architected microstructure. Six porous additively manufactured architected periodic structures with two‐fold and four‐fold symmetry were considered. The effect of pore shape and fold symmetry of microstructure on the non‐linear response of a square array of architected pores in a soft polymeric matrix is experimentally investigated. The...
