Abstract:Thanks to the advancement of additive manufacturing technologies, mechanical metamaterials have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. With the employment of such technologies, materials with exceptional or tailored mechanical properties can be easily manufactured mainly by 3D printing of different microstructures rather than by changing the material composition. These lattice materials can provide remarkable material properties in spite of being significantly lighter than typical bulk materials.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
