Effect of Compressive Strain Rate on Auxetic Foam

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Auxetic foams have previously been shown to have benefits including higher indentation resistance than their conventional counterparts, due to their negative Poisson’s ratio, making them better at resisting penetration by concentrated loads.

Strategic Design of Soft Actuators in Translational Medical Robotics for Human‐Centered Healthcare

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Soft robotics enables biocompatible, compliant medical devices, but clinical translation requires design‐driven engineering beyond materials. This perspective reviews implantable, surgical, and wearable systems by actuation mechanism, highlighting how optimized architectures and integration improve mechanical interfacing, adaptability, and durability ...

Modelling of auxetic foam embedded brittle materials and structures

open access: yes, 2016
Building structures use brittle materials extensively. Under impact or blast loads these structures perform poorly due to tensile strains caused by Poisson’s effect normal to the direction of such loadings.

Bistable Networks Enable Complex Shape Changes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Transition‐controlled metamaterials are networks of bistable mechanical memory that store local binary states and express them as global shape change. By decoupling low‐force programming from high‐force holding, a single lattice is reconfigured into distinct 2D profiles and 3D surfaces without continuous actuation, enabling reusable morphing materials ...

Elasto-plastic shear behavior of reinforced honeycomb and auxetic reentrant lattices

open access: yesMillenium, 2018
Introduction: Auxetic materials possess a negative Poisson’s ratio. Even though, the existence of isotropic auxetics is theoretically possible, they seem to be absent in natural states thus, there has been an effort to produce artificial auxetics mostly ...

Exploiting nonlinearities through geometric engineering to enhance the auxetic behaviour in re-entrant honeycomb metamaterials

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Classical approaches to enhance auxeticity quite often involve exploring or designing newer architectures. In this work, simple geometrical features at the member level are engineered to exploit non-classical nonlinearities and improve the auxetic ...

Explaining the Origin of Negative Poisson's Ratio in Amorphous Networks With Machine Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This review summarizes how machine learning (ML) breaks the “vicious cycle” in designing auxetic amorphous networks. By transitioning from traditional “black‐box” optimization to an interpretable “AI‐Physics” closed‐loop paradigm, ML is shown to not only discover highly optimized structures—such as all‐convex polygon networks—but also unveil hidden ...

Tailoring 3D star-shaped auxetic structures for enhanced mechanical performance [PDF]

open access: yes
Auxetic lattice structures are three-dimensionally designed intricately repeating units with multifunctionality in three-dimensional space, especially with the emergence of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies.

Auxetic metamaterials: A route to auxeticity in textile fibrous structures - potential application on protective apparel

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Textiles
Auxetic fibrous structures represent an innovative class of metamaterials that exhibit a negative Poisson’s ratio, meaning they expand laterally when stretched and contract when compressed.

The structure design and application of metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio

open access: yesEPJ Applied Metamaterials
Metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio, also called auxetic metamaterials, are artificially engineered structures or materials that possess extraordinary auxetic effect, high shear modulus, excellent impact resistance, and remarkable energy ...
