[0002] Metamaterials are a class of materials that possess physical properties not found in nature through artificially designed microstructures. The properties of these materials are not determined by the inherent attributes of their constituent base materials, but rather by their structural design. In recent years, metamaterial technology has developed rapidly, giving rise to multiple sub-fields with broad application potential, including mechanical metamaterials, acoustic metamaterials, thermal metamaterials, etc. Among them, mechanical metamaterials exhibit extensive application value due to their excellent mechanical properties, such as high energy absorption capacity, negative Poisson's ratio effect, adjustable stiffness characteristics, etc. Mechanical metamaterials have important application prospects in the fields of energy-absorbing protection devices, intelligent sensors, aerospace vehicles, and medical equipment, providing new solutions to meet the design requirements of multi-functionality, lightweight, and high performance.

[0003] Although the field of mechanical metamaterials has developed rapidly and researchers have achieved many important results in this field, the research on achieving high-plasticity and high-strength three-dimensional metamaterials through the interactive combination of positive and negative Poisson's ratios is still relatively scarce. Currently, metamaterials developed based on traditional chiral structures or bionic diagonal bar structures have almost constant stress during the plastic stage, while metamaterials developed based on anti-chiral lattice structures are prone to buckling instability during large plastic deformations and have weak load-bearing performance, and metamaterials developed based on diagonal bracing lattice structures often suffer from fracture failure due to local stress concentration under load and have poor plastic deformation ability.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a mechanical metamaterial that combines high plastic deformation ability and load-bearing capacity and has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: an energy-absorbing three-dimensional metamaterial with an interactive combination of positive and negative Poisson's ratio structures. The energy-absorbing three-dimensional metamaterial includes a plurality of mesoscopic unit structures 100, and is formed by stacking a plurality of the mesoscopic unit structures 100 in the horizontal and vertical directions; the mesoscopic unit structure 100 includes an anti-tetrachiral auxetic structure 200 and a bionic diagonal bracing structure 300; the anti-tetrachiral auxetic structure 200 and the bionic diagonal bracing structure 300 are arranged in an interactive combination.

[0039] Furthermore, the straight rods 310 of the bionic diagonal bracing structure 300 of the bionic diagonal bracing structure are inserted around the corners 220 of the anti-tetrachiral structure and the respective rods do not contact each other.

[0040] Furthermore, the corners 220 of the anti-tetrachiral structure are composed of three connecting curved rods 210.

[0041] Furthermore, four connecting curved rods 210 are provided on each of the six surfaces of the anti-tetrachiral auxetic structure 200; eight straight rods 310 of the bionic diagonal bracing structure are provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the bionic diagonal bracing structure 300 respectively, and four straight rods 310 of the bionic diagonal bracing structure are provided on each of the remaining four surfaces.

[0042] As Figure 2 shown, the straight rods 310 of the bionic diagonal bracing structure adopt a circular cross-section form, d1 represents the diameter of the straight rod, and a represents the distance between the straight rod and the corner, which determines the specific position of the straight rod, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0043]

[0044] Among them, L c represents the size dimension of the mesoscopic unit structure.

[0045] The connecting curved rods (210) adopt a circular cross-section form, d2 represents the diameter of the curved rod, and h represents the distance from the midpoint of the arc length of the curved rod to L c , which determines the degree of bending of the curved rod, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0046]

[0047] Among them, L c represents the size dimension of the mesoscopic unit structure.

[0048] The diameter d1 of the straight rod of the bionic diagonal bracing structure and the diameter d2 of the connecting curved rod satisfy the following relationship:

[0049]

[0050] Among them, a represents the distance between the straight rod and the corner, and L c represents the size dimension of the mesoscopic unit structure.

[0051] Therefore, in a specific embodiment, d1 is selected as 1.25 mm, d2 is selected as 1.55 mm, a is selected as 4.5 mm, and h is selected as 4.7 mm, all of which meet the above conditions for selecting structural parameters.

[0052] The energy-absorbing three-dimensional metamaterial with an alternating combination of positive and negative Poisson's ratio structures in the embodiment of the present invention is formed by stacking multiple meso-unit structures in the horizontal and vertical directions. By Figure 1 performing a linear array of the shown unit structures in the x, y, and z directions, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, and then obtaining an energy-absorbing three-dimensional metamaterial with an alternating combination of positive and negative Poisson's ratio structures. The schematic diagram of the three-dimensional metamaterial is as Figure 3 shown.

[0053] Solidworks software is used for solid modeling, and the selective laser sintering 3D printing technology is used to manufacture specimens of the metamaterial structure. PA12 material is used as the printing material, the printing laser power is 50 W, the printing layer thickness is selected as 50 microns, and the printing speed is selected as 30 cm 3 / h. The specimens are placed under a universal compressor for quasi-static compression tests, and the compression rate is selected as 3 mm / min. The test results are as Figure 6 shown. This metamaterial exhibits obvious three-stage strain hardening characteristics, effectively extending the stress plateau of the structure and improving the energy absorption capacity and bearing capacity of the three-dimensional metamaterial.

[0054] The specimens of the energy-absorbing three-dimensional metamaterial with an alternating combination of positive and negative Poisson's ratio structures are printed by SLS 3D printing technology for quasi-static compression tests. The specific energy absorption capacity is calculated by the formula: EA = ∫0 ε σ(ε)dε, where EA represents the energy absorbed by the structure, ε represents the strain value under the structural load displacement, SEA represents the specific energy absorption value of the structure, and m represents the mass of the structure. The quasi-static compression test results of the specimens are shown in Table 1.

[0056]

[0057] The results show that the plastic strain of the energy-absorbing three-dimensional metamaterial shows a stepwise upward trend, corresponding to a three-stage strain hardening deformation mode, effectively improving the energy absorption capacity and bearing capacity of the three-dimensional metamaterial.

[0058] Embodiment 2

[0059] Referring to the SLS 3D printing parameters in Example 1, a positive Poisson's ratio lattice structure and a negative Poisson's ratio lattice structure were respectively fabricated, and these two structures together constituted the energy-absorbing three-dimensional metamaterial with an interactive combination of positive and negative Poisson's ratio structures. To maintain the consistency of the experiment, all specimens adopted the same structural relative density. Subsequently, the specimens were placed under a universal compressor for quasi-static compression tests, with a compression rate of 3 mm / min selected, and the mechanical properties of each structure were compared and analyzed to evaluate the performance advantages of the interactive combination structure compared with a single positive or negative Poisson's ratio structure. The quasi-static compression test results of specimens with different structures are shown in Table 2.

[0061]

[0062] Note: " / " indicates that the structure does not have the corresponding mechanical behavior characteristics.

[0063] As can be seen from Table 2, the energy-absorbing three-dimensional metamaterial with an interactive combination of positive and negative Poisson's ratio structures exhibits higher densification stress values and specific energy absorption under compressive loads. Compared with the positive Poisson's ratio lattice structure, the specific energy absorption capacity of the energy-absorbing three-dimensional metamaterial with an interactive combination of positive and negative Poisson's ratio structures is increased by 163.8%, and at the same time, the positive Poisson's ratio lattice structure does not show a compressive stress plateau. Compared with the negative Poisson's ratio lattice structure, the densification stress value of the energy-absorbing three-dimensional metamaterial with an interactive combination of positive and negative Poisson's ratio structures is increased by 228.4%, and the specific energy absorption capacity is increased by 117.4%. This is because under the action of external forces, the negative Poisson's ratio part of the energy-absorbing three-dimensional metamaterial with an interactive combination of positive and negative Poisson's ratio structures can enhance the anti-deformation ability of the metamaterial, while the positive Poisson's ratio part improves the rigidity by enhancing the elastic response.
