Elastic Response of an Optimal Tensegrity-Type Metamaterial

We study the elastic response of a class of optimal planar metamaterials designed as periodic patterns of tensegrity cells. Specifically, we consider an infinite slab constituted by prismatic cells whose sections on the middle plane are regular hexagons, squares or equilateral triangles subjected to...
