Computational modelling of structural integrity following mass loss in polymeric charred cellular solids [PDF]
, 2014 A novel computational technique is presented for embedding mass-loss due to burning into the ANSYS finite element modelling code. The approaches employ a range of computational modelling methods in order to provide more complete theoretical treatment of ...

Auxetic strains—insight from iso-auxetic materials [PDF]
Molecular Simulation, 2005 Auxeticity is the result of internal structural degrees of freedom that get in the way of affine deformations. This paper proposes a new understanding of strains in disordered auxetic materials. A class of iso-auxetic structures is identified, which are auxetic structures that are also isostatic, and these are distinguished from conventional elasto ...

Deformation of Gels with Spherical Auxetic Inclusions
Gels, 2022 Auxetic metamaterials possess unnatural properties, such as a negative Poisson’s ratio, which offers interesting features when combined with traditional materials.

Tunable Digital Material Properties of 3D Voxel Printers [PDF]
, 2008 Digital materials are composed of many discrete voxels placed in a massively parallel layer deposition process, as opposed to continuous (analog) deposition techniques.

Hierarchical honeycomb auxetic metamaterials [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractMost conventional materials expand in transverse directions when they are compressed uniaxially resulting in the familiar positive Poisson’s ratio. Here we develop a new class of two dimensional (2D) metamaterials with negative Poisson’s ratio that contract in transverse directions under uniaxial compressive loads leading to auxeticity. This is

Nanocomposites with auxetic nanotubes [PDF]
International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2010 The effect of extreme and negative Poisson's ratio (auxetic) behavior from non-reconstructed defective (NRD) carbon nanotubes on the mechanical properties of nanocomposites is demonstrated. NRD carbon nanotubes (CNTs) produced by electronic or ion irradiation are metastable structures, which however can exist at low temperatures or when surrounded by ...

Fixed-Connectivity Membranes [PDF]
, 2004 The statistical mechanics of flexible surfaces with internal elasticity and shape fluctuations is summarized. Phantom and self-avoiding isotropic and anisotropic membranes are discussed, with emphasis on the universal negative Poisson ratio common to the
