The invention provides a compression-torsion coupled
metamaterial cell element and a negative Poisson's ratio
energy absorption structure composed of the compression-torsion coupled
metamaterial cell element, and relates to the technical field of compression-torsion
energy absorption metamaterials. The
cell element comprises an upper connecting plate
assembly and a lower connecting plate
assembly, an upper-layer four-rod tensioning
assembly and a lower-layer four-rod tensioning assembly are arranged between the upper connecting plate assembly and the lower connecting plate assembly, each of the upper-layer four-rod tensioning assembly and the lower-layer four-rod tensioning assembly comprises four compression
rigid rod pieces and a plurality of tension elastic bodies, the compression
rigid rod pieces are staggered in space to form a quadrangular
prism-like frame, and the
tail ends of the upper compression
rigid rod piece and the lower compression rigid rod piece are hinged; adjacent hinge points and two corresponding corners of the surfaces of the upper connecting plate assembly and the lower connecting plate assembly are connected through tensile elastic bodies and apply pre-tightening force; the
energy absorption structure is formed by combining a plurality of cell element arrays, and the negative Poisson's ratio effect is achieved by regulating and controlling the arrays. According to the cell element, a tensioning structure is integrated into a
metamaterial configuration, the cell element has the compression-torsion
coupling characteristic, the non-localized deformation response of the structure is achieved, and the energy absorption structure has the negative Poisson's ratio effect and provides excellent bearing and
impact resistance through an efficient energy absorption mechanism.
