In this study, novel re-entrant anti-trichiral (REAT) structures with arc-shaped ligaments are proposed to enhance both the elastic modulus and energy absorption capabilities through both experimental and numerical approaches. By first replacing straight ligaments with curved ligaments, unique defor...
