Journal ArticleDOI
On the effect of heat and solvent exposure on the microstructure properties of auxetic foams: A preliminary study
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of elevated temperature and solvent exposure on the microstructure of auxetic polyurethane foams is investigated, and it is shown that such effects result in an expansion of the auxetic foams accompanied by the removal of the highly convoluted features in the micro-structure, with the result that such foams lose their auxetic characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smart behaviour of layered plates through the use of auxetic materials
TL;DR: In this article, a brief introduction on auxetic materials and their use and potentiality is presented, in particular their application to obtain smart layered plates is discussed; it is shown as these materials allow, in certain conditions, to get a desired stiffness and a nearly linear behaviour (even under large displacement conditions) of bended plates, without changing the plate's geometry and materials.

Happy Catastrophe: Recent Progress in Analysis and Exploitation of Elastic Instability
Alan R Champneys,Timothy Dodwell,Rainer Groh,Giles W Hunt,Robin M Neville,Alberto Pirrera,Amir Hosein Sakhaei,Mark Schenk,M. Ahmer Wadee +8 more
TL;DR: A synthesis of recent progress is presented on thin elastic structures that lose stability subcritically --- without a nearby stable post-buckled state --- a canonical example being a uniformly axially-loaded cylindrical shell.

Addendum: anomalous mechanical behavior of the deltic, squaric and croconic cyclic oxocarbon acids
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that croconic acid exhibits negative linear compressibility (NLC) for applied pressures larger than 0.4 GPa directed along the direction of minimum Poisson ratio.

Determination of energy absorption in different cellular auxetic structures
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of unit cell configuration on the energy absorption response of different cellular auxetic structures subjected to quasi-static and dynamic loadings through the experimental and numerical methods was examined.
