A novel metamaterial with tension-torsion coupling effect

A novel 3D metamaterial with tension-torsion coupling effect is designed through connecting neighbor chiral honeycomb layers by inclined rods. Both numerical simulation and experiment analysis show the tension-torsion coupling effect of the metamaterial is much better compared to other metamaterials...
