Application of Additively Manufactured Pentamode Metamaterials in Sodium/Inconel 718 Heat Pipes

In this study, pentamode metamaterials were proposed for thermal stress accommodation of alkali metal heat pipes. Sodium/Inconel 718 heat pipes with and without pentamode metamaterial reinforcement were designed and fabricated. Then, these heat pipes were characterized by startup tests and thermal r...
