Auxetic foams counter-intuitively expand (shrink) under stretching (compression). These
foams can exhibit superior mechanical properties such as resistance to shear and …

Different from conventional materials, materials with negative Poisson's ratios expand
laterally when stretched longitudinally. Known as 'auxetic'materials, the effect means they …

Auxetics are a class of structural metamaterials with a negative Poisson's ratio. In
comparison to conventional structures, auxetic structures are proven to exhibit several …

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

Mechanical metamaterials are man-made structures with counterintuitive mechanical
properties that originate in the geometry of their unit cell instead of the properties of each …

Artificially-structured materials with negative Poisson's ratio, also known as auxetics, have
been the focus of numerous studies over the past few decades. In this paper, using a group …

Auxetic materials exhibit desirable mechanical properties, eg, fracture resistance, shear
resistance and energy dissipation due to their unique deformation characteristics …

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 …

Honeycomb structures have been used extensively in lightweight sandwich structure and
impact energy absorption applications. Recently the research has been carried out on …

Following high profile, life changing long term mental illnesses and fatalities in sports such
as skiing, cricket and American football—sports injuries feature regularly in national and …
