Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) chiral structures are a subset of mechanical metamaterials known for their distinctive deformation characteristics, including the presence of auxetic and compression–torsion coupling behaviors. In this study, a novel 3D chiral metamaterial with high… read more here.
