Finding Auxetic Frameworks in Periodic Tessellations

TL;DR: This approach has produced two previously unknown auxetic mechanisms, which have Poisson's ratio νss=-1 when realized as a skeletal structure of stiff incompressible struts pivoting freely at common vertices, and one of these has been produced as a linear-elastic cellular structure from Ti-6Al-4V alloy by selective electron beam melting.

Large amplitude vibration of sandwich plates with functionally graded auxetic 3D lattice core

TL;DR: In this paper, a full-scale modeling and nonlinear FEA is presented for large amplitude vibration of sandwich plates with functionally graded (FG) auxetic 3D lattice core.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uniaxial and buckling mechanical response of auxetic cellular tubes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the collapse under pure bending of auxetic tubes based on inverted hexagonal honeycombs, with the aim to identify design strategies suitable for improving their kinking response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self expanding molecular networks

TL;DR: In this article, a series of polyphenylacetylene networks are modelled through force field based simulations and are predicted to exhibit unusual properties, namely negative Poisson's ratios (auxetic), which is explained through a simple model involving a network of connected rotating triangles.

Tensile properties of helical auxetic structures: A numerical study

TL;DR: In this paper, a helical auxetic structure with a diverse range of practical applications is discussed, and the mechanical properties of the system can be determined by particular combinations of geometry and component material properties; finite element analysis is used to investigate the static behavior of these structures under tension.

Cellular Solids: Structure and Properties

TL;DR: The linear elasticity of anisotropic cellular solids is studied in this article. But the authors focus on the design of sandwich panels with foam cores and do not consider the properties of the materials.

Foam structures with a negative poisson's ratio

TL;DR: A novel foam structure is presented, which exhibits a negative Poisson's ratio, and such a material expands laterally when stretched, in contrast to ordinary materials.
