  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nonlinear Wave Dynamics of Materials and Structures

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 122))

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.
