Materials and structures with negative Poisson's ratio exhibit a counter-intuitive behaviour.
Under uniaxial compression (tension), these materials and structures contract (expand) …

Material properties can be tailored through modification of their geometry or architecture.
With this concept, a lot of smart materials, metamaterials, and smart structures have been …

Auxetic textiles are intriguing materials with unusual capabilities. These materials exhibit
negative Poisson's ratio with extraordinary performance in toughness, resilience, shear …

The phenomenon of static electricity is unpredictable, particularly when an aircraft flying at
high altitude that causes the accumulation of static charges beyond a threshold value …

Auxetic mechanical metamaterials are artificially architected materials that possess negative
Poisson's ratio, demonstrating transversal contracting deformation under external vertical …

There is a growing interest in using additive manufacturing to produce smart structures,
which have the capability to respond to thermal and mechanical stimuli. In this report …

Auxetic structures are a special class of structural components that exhibit a negative
Poisson's ratio (NPR) because of their constituent materials, internal microstructure, or …

Elastic instability has been increasingly used to design buckling-induced auxetic
metamaterials. However, only limited patterns of existing three dimensional (3D) buckling …

Metamaterials are inherently advantageous in achieving designable auxeticity since their
Poisson'ratios are determined by the geometry of their unit cells. A family of auxetic …

Under uniaxial compression (tension), auxetic materials would shrink (expand) laterally. It
has been speculated that the auxetic property could be used to design superior nails for …
