A novel metamaterial possessing both multistable and negative Poisson's ratio properties

This invention relates to the field of novel materials, specifically a novel metamaterial exhibiting both multi-stable state and negative Poisson's ratio properties. It comprises a concave hexagonal frame, two arc-shaped beams positioned on the upper and lower sides of the frame's inner cavity, and a vertical rod. The two arc-shaped beams are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the vertical rod via their respective central portions. When the structure is subjected to a vertical compressive load, the frame's diagonal bracing rotates inward, contracting and compressing the ends of the arc-shaped beams, generating a significant negative Poisson's ratio effect. This process forces the arc-shaped beams to bend and deform towards the center, accompanied by energy dissipation. When the displacement reaches a critical threshold, the arc-shaped beams buckle and overturn, switching to a steady state. This invention, through specific geometric configurations and differentiated material layouts, achieves morphological self-repair after impact and reuse under low-intensity conditions. This metamaterial can be arranged as a two-dimensional periodic array as a unit cell.
