Auxetic Kirigami Metamaterials upon Large Stretching

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2023
Auxetic kirigami metamaterials (KMs) attain negative Poisson's ratios with periodic slender cuts on thin sheets. The existing thin auxetic KMs forfeit auxeticity under large tensions because their auxeticity mainly arises from in-plane deformation, but out-of-plane buckling could arise to cause large deviations, and thicker KMs would suffer from stress

Auxetic metamaterial simplifies soft robot design

2016 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2016
Soft materials are being adopted in robotics in order to facilitate biomedical applications and in order to achieve simpler and more capable robots. One route to simplification is to design the robot's body using ‘smart materials’ that carry the burden of control and actuation.

Periodic tetrahedral auxetic metamaterial

Extreme Mechanics Letters
In this work, we introduce a novel three-dimensional auxetic mechanical metamaterial consisting of rotating tetrahedra connected by ideal hinges at their vertices, arranged to form a periodic framework structure. Through analytical and kinematic approaches, we evaluated the deformation behavior of the proposed idealized model, revealing Poisson’s ...

Auxetic metamaterials inspired from wine-racks

Journal of Materials Science, 2017
‘Wine-rack’ motifs are formally shown to exhibit the unexpected property of a negative Poisson’s ratio (auxetic behaviour) for loading in particular directions. This property is confirmed through the analysis of analytical expressions for the in-plane off-axis mechanical properties derived for an idealised hinging wine-rack model as well as through ...

Auxetic metamaterials and structures: a review

Smart Materials and Structures, 2018
Materials and structures with negative Poisson's ratio exhibit a counter-intuitive behaviour. Under uniaxial compression (tension), these materials and structures contract (expand) transversely. The materials and structures that possess this feature are also termed as 'auxetics'.
