Conventional topology optimization methods often struggle to achieve simultaneous customization of stress–strain and Poisson’s ratio–strain curves in auxetic metamaterials, due to the complexity of nonlinear analysis, multi-objective coupling, and high computational costs. To overcome these limitati...
