Abstract
A novel 3D centrosymmetric lattice that exhibits a large twist angle during compression is proposed by tailoring the twist buckling mode of a body-centered cubic lattice and a simple cubic truss to the first. The imperfections of offset and multimaterial systems are introduced to control the twist direction. Effects of geometrical parameters and material properties on twist behavior are studied. Results suggest that the buckling-driven lattice configuration can twist at an angle of 100° and an average angle per unit axial strain of 6.7°/%. The novel configurations can be used as force switches, safety devices, and temperature-controlled transmission devices.
