Abstract

The pantographic metamaterial, a particular metamaterial, composed of two orthogonal families of fibers, with remarkable deformation properties, presents, in case the interconnections between the two layers of fibers are perfect hinges, a mechanical response that recalls by analogy the law characteristic of diodes, in the theory of electrical circuits. In this sense, the pantographic metamaterial represents a sort of mechanical diode.
