Mechanics of disordered auxetic metamaterials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Auxetic materials are of great engineering interest not only because of their fascinating negative Poisson's ratio, but also due to the possibility to increase by design the toughness and indentation resistance.

Dual‐Functionality, Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles for Actuation and Motion Sensing in Smart Wearable Systems

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This work presents a biofriendly carbon nanotube yarn artificial muscle operating either as an in‐air unipolar actuator or as a self‐powered ionotronic strain sensor. Using a non‐volatile eutectogel‐derived electrolyte, the system achieves up to 2.9% contraction and 0.5 mV/% strain sensing sensitivity.

A new auxetic structure with significantly reduced stress concentration effects

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2019
Auxetic structures exhibit certain abnormal mechanical responses such as negative Poisson's ratios, mainly through the intertwined deformation attributes of inter-connected members of macro structural forms.

Simulation and Analysis of Stiffened Auxetic Honeycombs Having Enhanced High Impact Velocity Response

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
The ballistic resistance of auxetic re‐entrant honeycomb structures can be significantly improved through geometric tailoring and structural reinforcement. Vertical and horizontal stiffening ribs enhanced the ballistic performance, increasing the energy absorption efficiency by 119.45% and the projectile velocity reduction by 281.36%, ultimately ...

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 35, 18 September 2026.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Auxeticity and Wood

open access: yesDrvna industrija
Poisson’s ratio, one of the elastic constants, describes the ratio of lateral strain to axial strain when a material is subjected to stress. The range of Poisson’s ratios greatly varies in terms of material types and their structures.
