Auxetics display the anomalous property of expanding laterally when uniaxially stretched,
that is, a negative Poisson's ratio, a property that arises from 1) the presence of specific …

We present in this paper two novel concepts of hybrid metamaterials that combine a core
unit cell of re-entrant or cross-chiral shape and lateral missing ribs. The first topology is a …

A partially-auxetic metamaterial is introduced, inspired by the Maltese cross. Each unit of this
metamaterial consists of a pair of counter-rotating equal-armed crosses, which is …

Using a combination of analytic and computational methods, we examine the effect of
adding hierarchical substructure to an auxetic lattice. Our novel methodology, involving a …

Auxetic materials have gained increasing interest in the last decades, fostered by auspicious
applications in various fields. While the design of new auxetics has largely focused on meta …

Auxetics (negative Poisson's ratio) and materials with negative linear compressibility (NLC)
exhibit the anomalous mechanical properties of getting wider rather than thinner when …

Auxetic materials are a type of novel materials exhibiting negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) with
potentials for special applications. Herein, the aim is to optimize the auxetic yarn and fabric …

Mechanical metamaterials represent a class of deformable systems, which exhibit
macroscopic deformations, mechanical, and/or thermal properties. These emerge due to the …

Novel mechanical metamaterials inspired by single crystal boron arsenate built at the
macroscale using conventional materials are presented and investigated through finite …

The mechanical properties of single crystals boron arsenate, BAsO 4, are simulated through
density functional theory simulations over a wide range of pressures from− 10 to+ 90 GPa. It …
