Xie, J. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Meng, Z. (author), Liang, M. (author), Wan, Z. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Auxetic cementitious cellular composites (ACCCs) exhibit desirable mechanical properties (e.g., high fracture resistance and energy dissipation), due to their unique deformation characteristics. In this study, a new type of cementitious auxetic material, referred to as peanut shaped ACCC, has been designed and subsequently architected using...journal article 2024

(author), Cheng, Lin (author), Liang, Xuan (author), To, Albert. C. (author)Manufacturing-oriented topology optimization has been extensively studied the past two decades, in particular for the conventional manufacturing methods, for example, machining and injection molding or casting. Both design and manufacturing engineers have benefited from these efforts because of the close-to-optimal and friendly-to-manufacture...journal article 2018
