Mechanical metamaterials with topologies based on curved elements: An overview of design, additive manufacturing and mechanical properties

The design of metamaterials involves the optimal distribution of material inside a volume; therefore, it has benefited from the development of Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques. Using AM allows the designer to create complex shapes including ones based on curved elements, which can take the sha...
