In-Plane Mechanical Behavior of a New Star-Re-Entrant Hierarchical Metamaterial

A novel hierarchical metamaterial with tunable negative Poisson’s ratio is designed by a re-entrant representative unit cell (RUC), which consists of star-shaped subordinate cells. The in-plane mechanical behaviors of star-re-entrant hierarchical metamaterial are studied thoroughly by fini...
