Abstract

Light-weight, high-strength metamaterials with excellent heat dissipation and energy absorption capabilities are of great interest for aerospace and automobile applications. In particular, innovative structure design and its successful realization are paramount but often challenging due to the vast design space and associated complex manufacturing. In this chapter, inspired by pomelo peel's superior shielding protection of its pulp, bionic polyhedron metamaterials (BPMs) that imitate pomelo peel were designed and realized by metal 3D printing ...
