HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Stiffer and collaborators from the School of Science, Xi'an Technological University, Xi' an, China have published the research: Pentamodal Mechanical Metamaterials, in the Journal: Materials 2019, 12, 3470 of /2019/
- what: The authors propose a new class of pentamodal metamaterials with centrosymmetry that show better stability, better performances (stiffness and toughness) and for which effective properties depend much less on the number of unit cells than the previous proposals . The authors emphasize that a missing but important aspect is the centrosymmetry, and the authors propose the unit cell shown in Figure 1.
