Reentrant tensegrity: A three-periodic, chiral, tensegrity structure that is auxetic

We present a three-periodic, chiral, tensegrity structure and demonstrate that it is auxetic. Our tensegrity structure is constructed using the chiral symmetry Π cylinder packing, transforming cylinders to elastic elements and cylinder contacts to incompressible rods. The resulting structure display...
