Compaction through buckling in 2D periodic, soft and porous structures: Effect of pore shape. Advanced Materials 24(17): 2337-2342.0935-9648http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:10919788Soft cellular structures that comprise a solid matrix with a square array of holes open avenues for the design of novel soft and foldable structures. Our results demonstrate that by simply changing the shape of the holes the response of porous structure can be easily tuned and soft structures with optimal compaction can be designed.en-USporous structuresbucklingPoisson's ratioelasticityJournal Article2013-08-0610.1002/adma.201104395
