“…In addition to auxetic behaviour, there are many other artificial mechanical behaviours like negative stiffness, negative compressibility, and ultra-lightweight ultra-high stiffness properties that are achievable through different types of mechanical metamaterials [10,13]. Such properties are controllable by tuning the unit-cell geometry through several methods like computer-aided design (CAD) and topology optimisation [12,14,15] Due to this unique behaviour, auxetics have been considered for different applications such as prosthetics [16], tissue engineering [17], sports practice [18], textile industry [19], biomechanical [20], vibration isolation [21] and enhanced thermo-mechanical applications [22]. Silva et al [23] presented a comprehensive review on the chemical composition, and physical and mechanical properties of the cork material and signified its products and sub-products.…”
