Activity Cellular mechanical metamaterials

Internally funded project


Start date : 01.01.2005

Project details

Short description

Metamaterials are artificial structures with extraordinary properties as result of their internal architecture. We are investigating mechanical metamaterials manufactured by SEBM. We investigate auxetic materials characterized by a negative Poisson’s ratio as well as phononic band gap materials. Structure design rests upon basic knowledge about mechanisms generated by numerical simulation.
