Elastic properties of chiral, anti-chiral, and hierarchical honeycombs: A simple energy-based approach

The effects of two geometric refinement strategies widespread in natural structures, chirality and self-similar hierarchy, on the in-plane elastic response of two-dimensional honeycombs were studied systematically. Simple closed-form expressions were derived for the elastic moduli of several chiral,...
