contents Advances in material architectures have enabled endowing materials with exotic attributes not commonly available in the conventional realm of mechanical engineering. Twisting, a mechanism whereby metamaterials are used to transform static axial load into twist motion, is of particular interest to this study. Herein, computations based on the finite element method, corroborated by an analytical approach derived from applying Lagrange's equations to a monoatomic spring-mass system, are employed to explore the longitudinal-twist (L-T) conversion exhibited by a chiral tetragonal-beam metamaterial. Firstly, we perform an eigenvalue analysis taking into account the polarization states to highlight the potential contribution of the longitudinal mode in the L-T conversion. We contrast the twisting behavior of the chiral cell with that of other homogeneous medium, octagonal-tube, and non-chiral cells. Moreover, we demonstrate the influence of the cell's chirality on the L-T conversion using both time-domain and frequency-domain studies. The findings indicate that at least a portion of the longitudinally propagating wave is transformed into twist throughout a broad frequency range and even quasi-totally converted at distinct frequencies.
