Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of metamaterials, specifically to a kind of two-dimensional metamaterial cell with integrated adjustable thermal expansion and poisson's ratio and its combination. BACKGROUND
[0002] Negative thermal expansion metamaterials can be widely used in aerospace, such as satellite antennas and spacecraft thermal deformation control; in addition, in the engineering field of precision instruments, electronics, etc., the structure is easily affected by temperature fluctuations and requires high precision itself, so materials with negative expansion or even zero expansion coefficient have high application value. Negative poisson's ratio metamaterials can be used as the bottom plate of a bomb-proof vehicle. When the explosive at the bottom of the bomb-proof vehicle explodes, the huge shock wave will cause the negative poisson's ratio material to rapidly gather at the impact point, increase in density and strength, resist deformation and thus ensure the safety of the people inside the vehicle. In addition, negative poisson's ratio materials can also be used as car tires, seat belts and safety helmets, all of which benefit from their excellent energy absorption and buffering performance. Therefore, designing and developing more new metamaterials to integrate multiple mechanical properties and functions into one material so that the material itself can serve in multiple field integrated working conditions for a long time is a key way to further improve the performance limit of the material.
