Onset of criticality in hyper-auxetic polymer networks

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Auxetic materials are characterized by a negative Poisson’s ratio - they become thicker when stretched. Here, authors reach the limit of auxetic behavior, known as hyper-auxetic, in polymer networks, hitting an unconventional mechanical critical point.

Negative Poisson’s ratio polyethylene matrix and 0.5Ba(Zr0.2 Ti0.8) O3–0.5(Ba0.7 Ca0.3)TiO3 based piezocomposite for sensing and energy harvesting applications

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Finite element studies were conducted on 0.5Ba(Zr0.2 Ti0.8) O3–0.5(Ba0.7 Ca0.3)TiO3 (BCZT) piezoelectric particles embedded in polyethylene matrix to create a piezocomposite having a positive and negative Poisson's ratio of −0.32 and 0.2.

Dynamic behavior and damping capacity of auxetic foam pads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A novel set of auxetic (negative Poisson's ratio) open cell polyurethane foam has been developed and tested under dynamic loading conditions to assess the viscoelastic response under white noise random excitation and compressive cycling.

Theory of strains in auxetic materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Auxetic materials, or negative-Poisson's-ratio materials, are important technologically and fascinating theoretically. When loaded by external stresses, their internal strains are governed by correlated motion of internal structural degrees of freedom ...

Review of Mechanics and Applications of Auxetic Structures

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2014
One of the important mechanical properties of materials is Poisson’s ratio, which is positive for most of the materials. However, certain materials exhibit “auxetic” properties; that is, they have a negative Poisson’s ratio.

Computational simulation of fracture behaviour in auxetic cellular structure by multiaxial loading [PDF]

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
A computational simulation of fracture behaviour in auxetic cellular structure, subjected to multiaxial loading is presented in this paper. A fracture behaviour of the 3D (three-dimensional) chiral auxetic structure under multiaxial loading conditions ...

Auxetic regions in large deformations of periodic frameworks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In materials science, auxetic behavior refers to lateral widening upon stretching. We investigate the problem of finding domains of auxeticity in global deformation spaces of periodic frameworks.
