Auxetic Materials for Sports Applications

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2014
AbstractIn this paper, the auxetic effect is introduced, the range of auxetic materials is briefly reviewed, and research demonstrating benefits having potential in sports applications is highlighted. These include the use of auxetic materials in impact protector devices (pads, gloves, helmets and mats) exploiting better conformability for comfort and ...

Auxetic materials for bioprostheses [In the Spotlight]

open access: yesIEEE Signal Processing Magazine, 2008
In this paper, the properties of auxetic materials, their biomedical (bioprostheses) and signal processing applications are discussed. Materials with negative values of the Poisson's ratio (NPR) are referred to as auxetic.

Auxetic materials

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2007
Abstract The current status of research into auxetic (negative Poisson's ratio) materials is reviewed, with particular focus on those aspects of relevance to aerospace engineering. Developments in the modelling, design, manufacturing, testing, and potential applications of auxetic cellular solids, polymers, composites, and sensor ...

Review on auxetic materials

Journal of Materials Science, 2004
Although a negative Poisson's ratio (that is, a lateral extension in response to stretching) is not forbidden by thermodynamics, for almost all common materials the Poisson's ratio is positive. In 1987, Lakes first discovered negative Poisson's ratio effect in polyurethane (PU) foam with re-entrant structures, which was named anti-rubber, auxetic, and ...

Auxeticity of cubic materials

physica status solidi (b), 2009
AbstractA general expression for the directionally anisotropic Poisson's ratio (PR) of cubic materials under external pressure is discussed. It is expressed in terms of the elastic moduli ratios, X = G/K, Y = G/W, where K is the bulk modulus and G, W are shear moduli, and where the mechanical stability criteria are taken into account.

Auxetic materials: Avoiding the shrink

Nature, 2003
Materials that expand laterally when stretched can act as molecular-scale strain amplifiers. This amplification might be exploited in nature and in future technologies.

Auxetic mechanics of crystalline materials

Mechanics of Solids, 2010
In the present paper, we analyze uniaxial deformation of crystals of different systems with negative Poisson’s ratios, known as auxetics. The behavior of auxetic crystals is studied on the basis of extensive knowledge on the experimental values of elastic constants of different crystals, gathered in the well-known Landolt-Bornstein tables.
