Mechanical Properties of a Chiral Cellular Structure with Semicircular Beams

Compliant cellular structures are good candidates for morphing applications. This paper proposes a novel chiral cellular structure composed of circular beams with great elastic properties and potential for morphing. The tensile and shear elastic properties of the structure are studied through theore...
