3D printed auxetics (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Walters, P. (2018, October). 3D printed auxetics. Presented at 4th VIPER School: Composite structures and auxetic systems, Bristol, UK

The term 3D printing refers to the fabrication of physical objects directly from 3D computer aided design data. Also known as additive layer manufacturing and rapid prototyping, 3D printing generally works by solidifying, fusing or depositing materia... Read More about 3D printed auxetics.

A 3D hybrid auxetic lattice/foam for energy dissipation and posture comfort (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Fieldhouse, R., Worman, H., Phillips, J., Pugsley, O., Murphy, G., Miller, J., …Davies-Smith, A. (2018, September). A 3D hybrid auxetic lattice/foam for energy dissipation and posture comfort. Paper presented at 9th International Conference and 14th International Workshop on Auxetics and Related Systems with “Negative” Characteristics, Sheffield, UK

The work describes the development of an hybrid three-dimensional composite made of a 3D auxetic lattice configuration and a layer of auxetic open cell PU foam for applications, ranging from general energy absorption/packaging to posture comfort and...

Development of a morphing wingtip based on compliant structures (2018)
Journal Article
Wang, C., Haddad Khodaparast, H., Friswell, M. I., Shaw, A. D., Xia, Y., & Walters, P. (2018). Development of a morphing wingtip based on compliant structures. Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, 29(16), 3293-3304. https://doi.org/10.1177/1045389X18783076

© The Author(s) 2018. Compliant structures, such as flexible corrugated panels and honeycomb structures, are promising structural solutions for morphing aircraft. The compliant structure can be tailored to carry aerodynamic loads and achieve the geom... Read More about Development of a morphing wingtip based on compliant structures.
