Relation of Bulk‐to‐Shear Loss Factors in Viscoelastic Auxetic Metamaterials
This article examines the dynamic behavior of isotropic auxetic viscoelastic materials, highlighting how negative Poisson's ratios affect energy dissipation, damping, and the interplay between bulk and shear moduli. By extending established viscoelastic theories to the auxetic range, it defines bound limits and underscores how dynamic Poisson's ratio ...

Roughness Measurements at Small and Uneven Surfaces of Ceramic Foam Filters
ABSTRACT This study investigated the possibility of roughness characterization of ceramic foam filters using a laser scanning microscope, examining the influence of magnification, measured area, cutoff wavelength (λc), measured roughness parameter, and position within the ceramic foam on the measured roughness data. Firstly, the effect of magnification
