Article Abstract
The auxetic structures are highly effective in bone implants due to their unique deformation characteristics. However, ideal tissue engineering scaffolds must possess suitable mechanical properties and biocompatibility. The biological effects of auxetic structures require further study. In this study, three types of 3D re-entrant honeycomb structures with varying angles of 75°, 90°, and 105° were designed. These structures were fabricated by stereolithography 3D printing technology. Finite element simulations and compression tests were conducted to evaluate their mechanical properties. Scaffolds were inoculated with preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells, and cyclic loading was applied to investigate the influence of structural and mechanical stimulation on cell arrangement and proliferation. The results demonstrated that the 75° scaffold exhibited auxetic characteristics in all compression directions and possessed anti-fracture properties. The 75° scaffold also promoted cell proliferation by structural design. Cyclic compression facilitated the nuclear translocation of YAP, further enhancing cell growth. The combination of anti-fracture properties and the promotion of cell proliferation makes auxetic structures highly promising for extensive applications.

High cost of clinical trials hinders further enhancement of comprehensive mechanical properties of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS). Therefore, a multi-objective optimization method combining surrogate modeling and finite element simulation is proposed, based on the evaluation of stents with various auxetic structures and materials. The results demonstrated that re-entrant hexagon stent made of PLA (PLA-RH stent) was a more ideal candidate, with superior radial recoil and force.

The mechanical properties of graphene are investigated using classical molecular dynamics simulations as a function of temperature T and external stress τ. The elastic response is characterized by calculating elastic constants via three complementary methods: (i) numerical derivatives of stress-strain curves, (ii) analysis of cell fluctuation correlations, and (iii) phonon dispersion analysis. Simulations were performed with two interatomic models: an empirical potential and a tight-binding electronic Hamiltonian.

The present paper investigates influence of the graphene origami's characteristics and multi-load of piezoelectric materials on the frequency responses of a sandwich curved composed of a Graphene Origami (Gori) reinforced core. The Gori reinforced core is sandwiched with piezoelectric/piezomagnetic layers. A novel higher-order flexible model with thickness stretch-ability is employed for extension of the kinematic relations.

Mechanical metamaterials continuously push the boundaries of mechanical properties far beyond conventional materials. However, a critical step toward the applications of metamaterials lies in combining multiple effects and functionalities into a single structure. Here, a pre-torsion design paradigm is proposed to enable synergistic coupling of distinct mechanical properties.

Auxetic structure has a very good application prospect in biomedical engineering as implant and stent design, but this scenario faces the difficulty of synergistic optimization of multiple performance indexes. This paper aims to break through this dilemma through innovative design concepts and methods. The study integrates bio-morphology and engineering biomimicry to design a chiral petal-type honeycomb structure by extracting the cross symmetry of cruciferous plant petals and the mechanical properties of wind turbine blades.
