Development, fabrication and mechanical characterisation of auxetic bicycle handlebar grip

Abstract The auxetic cellular structures are one of the most promising metamaterials for vibration damping and crash absorption applications. Therefore, their use in the bicycle handlebar grip was studied in this work. A preliminary computational design study was performed using various auxetic and...
