Fatigue behaviour of different chiral auxetic structures using a numerical approach
Branko Nečemer, Patrik Lampret, Srečko Glodež, 2025, original scientific article

Abstract: This study presents the computational analysis for determining the fatigue life of different chiral auxetic structures made of aluminium alloys 5083-H111. The influence of Poisson's ratio on the loading process was investigated to determine which structures exhibited the auxetic effect and how intense it was. Finally, the fatigue life calculation was performed using the strain life approach in the framework of the ANSYS software. The fatigue life determination was evaluated using the approach of amplitude strains, amplitude forces, and strain energy density per cycle. The computational results were described and presented according to predefined approaches, from which it was determined which chiral structure can withstand the highest number of loading cycles at the prescribed load, and which structure shows the most favourable combination of mechanical and physical properties.

Development, fabrication and mechanical characterisation of auxetic bicycle handlebar grip
Nejc Novak, Vasja Plesec, Gregor Harih, Andrej Cupar, Jasmin Kaljun, Matej Vesenjak, 2023, original scientific article

Abstract: The auxetic cellular structures are one of the most promising metamaterials for vibration damping and crash absorption applications. Therefore, their use in the bicycle handlebar grip was studied in this work. A preliminary computational design study was performed using various auxetic and non-auxetic geometries under four load cases, which can typically appear. The most representative geometries were then selected and fabricated using additive manufacturing. These geometries were then experimentally tested to validate the discrete and homogenised computational models. The homogenised computational model was then used to analyse the biomechanical behaviour of the handlebar grip. It was observed that handle grip made from auxetic cellular metamaterials reduce the high contact pressures, provide similar stability and hereby improve the handlebar ergonomics.
