Auxetic Lattice Development

Auxetic Lattice Development | Modeling and Analysis

Commissioned by a doctor in mechanical engineering to develop a parametric CAD model of his lattice concept, enabling adjustment of unit-cell density and strut angle within a defined volume.

We performed finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate whether the modeled structure exhibited a negative Poisson’s ratio under simulated loading. Design configurations explored different materials, dimensions, and lattice parameters.

We also established the manufacturing approach and secured manufacturing of the components. The researcher will subject these specimens to a series of mechanical tests to characterize the structure’s behavior in the selected materials.
