Abstract

3D periodic auxetic cellular structures (PACSs) have attracted great interest in recent years as they have superior properties of mechanics and potential application in the filed of aviation, shipping and transportation et al.. However, they usually consist of intricate geometries which make the fabrication of them a significant challenge. The present paper is focused on introducing the interlocking assembly concept into the fabrication of 3D PACSs. There are distinct advantages of the proposed method compared with the additive manufacturing methods mainly used before. The auxetic performance of proposed structures is investigated theoretically and numerically and the effects of re-entrant angle of 3D PACSs on its auxetic performances are discussed.
