Therefore, in this paper, an orthogonal 3D orthogonal U-shaped accordion (3D-OUA) metamaterial was proposed on the basis of the 2D classical re-entrant hexagon core (RHC) metamaterial.

Decreasing the amplitude of the cosine function of the unit cell, increasing the tensile thickness of the unit cell and employing multidirectional unit cells to construct the 3D-OUA honeycomb structure can enhance the energy absorption and plateau stress. Reducing the cosine function amplitude of the unit cell, increasing the tensile thickness of the unit cell and employing multidirectional unit cells can enhance the impact resistance of 3D-OUA sandwich panels.

Bone tissue, although mostly elastic on short time scales, exhibit therefore adaptive behaviors over longer durations due to cellular remodeling. In this paper we use viscoelastic Maxwell models to capture such an adaptive behavior. Two models are considered. The first is a two-degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) model. The second investigates the continuum two-dimensional case. We derive them, first time in this context, with the use of a Hamilton–Rayleigh principle. For both cases, we show that the load free configuration changes according to the experienced load and the models quantify these concept. The models are general and can be applied to any load history. Besides, the second 2D model can also be applied to any geometric configuration.

This challenge also exists in Nature, and the architecture of long bones provides an excellent example of how Evolution has solved this problem. Bone architecture is complex, highly adapted to mechanical stresses, and yet extremely resource efficient. The use of such complex structures is now feasible in industry thanks to the advent of additive manufacturing. In this paper, a bone bio-inspired, multiscale mass reduction method for mechanical parts is presented, aiming to enhance the stiffness to weight ratio. A two-scale approach is developed: the macroscale (bone shape, topological level) and the mesoscale (trabecular bone structure, structural level). This multiscale method is then compared with each method applied separately. For this comparison, the three-point bending test (representative of industrial demands) is used. Tests were performed both experimentally and through finite element analysis. The experiments show the efficiency of the multiscale method, with improvements of 24% compared to the topological level method and 7% compared to the structural level method. The finite element analysis results support and explain this trend, indicating that the multiscale structure achieves a better distribution of internal stresses. Thus, this study demonstrates that combining two mass reduction methods operating at different scales yields better results than either method alone. The results obtained for this multiscale method are highly encouraging and suggest potential applications for industrial parts in the automotive and aerospace sectors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49846,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics Research Communications","volume":"152 ","pages":"Article 104614"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145915225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
