Auxetic performance

open access: yes, 2019
Auxetic cell structures are rare in nature, but their structural composition gives them some very special properties. Because, under pressure, they contract in every direction, Auxetics are used to insert medical stent pipes into veins to keep them open.

Wave motion in auxetic structures : A comparative numerical study of auxetic and non-auxetic structures

open access: yes
AbstractWave propagation in three periodic structure, specifically missing rib structure with chiral core (MRSC),rotating triangle structures with circular holes (RTCA) and square grid lattice (SGL), were investigatedthrough numerical simulation. The goal is to study how auxetic structures with altering area fractions differin structural properties ...

Auxetic Materials

open access: yes
This report examines auxetic materials which are designed to have a negative Poisson’s ratio. Thismeans they expand sideways when stretched. This unusual behaviour provides unique mechanicaladvantages, such as better resistance to indentation, improved toughness against fractures, andbeneficial synclastic curvature, which aids in uniform bending.
