Selective hinge removal strategy for architecting hierarchical auxetic metamaterials
Pivotally interconnected polygons are capable of auxetic behavior, but have not been fully explored. Here, a design method is demonstrated based on the selective removal of rotational hinges in pivotally interconnected polygons with even-numbered modules, leading to fully-deployable structures.
