Abstract
This study focuses on the design, behavior and experimental analysis of a novel metamaterial, consisting of an asymmetric auxetic three-dimensional structure (AATS) infused with polyester resin. Utilizing FDM additive printing, samples were created with customizable responses to compressive loads through varied design parameters. The objective is to surpass traditional material blending by enhancing stiffness and energy absorption. Striking a delicate balance, the AATS energy absorption properties are preserved while leveraging the stiffness of the resin. Despite its compact cubic form, not exceeding 27 mm on each side, this metamaterial showcases amplified characteristics, blending the AATS and polyester resin. The results hint at promising applications across military defense, automotive, aerospace sectors, and even potential replacements for articulated human skeletal components.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
