Bilinear elastic behaviour allows structural designs to respond in either a stiff or compliant manner depending on the load. Here a cylindrical sinusoidal lattice structure is described that stiffens beyond a certain load. When subjected to axial com...

International Journal of Solids and Structures, 289, Article 112637. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsolstr.2023.112637

This paper explores the use of simultaneous tensile buckling of unit cells to induce a transformation in lattice topology. Under tension, unit cells undergo passive transformation from a rectangle-like to a triangle-/pentagon-like topology, with an a...
