Overview

Adaptive twisting metamaterials reveal tuneable stiffness and energy absorption in engineered lattices, suggesting advancements for energy-absorbing systems.

Key Points

  • To explore how twisting metamaterials can provide mechanical adaptivity for improved energy absorption.
  • Developed a platform utilizing multiscale modelling and additive manufacturing.
  • Conducted experiments to assess mechanical performance under controlled torsion.
  • Analyzed gyroid structures for their tuneable stiffness and energy absorption capacities.
  • Demonstrated that controlled torsion can significantly alter stiffness and energy absorption.
  • Showed gyroid structures can collapse under stress while mitigating impacts effectively.
  • Indicated potential applications in automotive, aerospace, rail, and defense sectors.
