101 results about "Metamaterial" patented technology

A metamaterial (from the Greek word μετά meta, meaning "beyond" and the Latin word materia, meaning "matter" or "material") is a material engineered to have a property that is not found in naturally occurring materials. They are made from assemblies of multiple elements fashioned from composite materials such as metals and plastics. The materials are usually arranged in repeating patterns, at scales that are smaller than the wavelengths of the phenomena they influence. Metamaterials derive their properties not from the properties of the base materials, but from their newly designed structures. Their precise shape, geometry, size, orientation and arrangement gives them their smart properties capable of manipulating electromagnetic waves: by blocking, absorbing, enhancing, or bending waves, to achieve benefits that go beyond what is possible with conventional materials.

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.
