Influence of Topological Defects on the Mechanical Response of Unit Cells of the Tetrachiral Mechanical Metamaterial
The primary benefit of metamaterials is that their physical and mechanical properties can be controlled by changing the structure geometry. Numerical analysis tools used in this work offer a few advantages over full-scale testing, consisting of an automated process, as well as lower material and tim...
