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

Mechanical metamaterials are man-made rationally-designed structures that present
unprecedented mechanical properties not found in nature. One of the most well-known …

Auxetic textiles are materials which possess negative Poisson's ratio, this implies that in
contrast to conventional textile materials if they are stretched in longitudinal direction, a …

Buckling is one type of unstable structural response which has been known for centuries.
Although buckling is generally regarded as a type of undesirable phenomenon, many …

Fabrics with zero or negative Poisson's ratio are referred as auxetic fabrics, which have the
unusual property of lateral expansion or zero expansion upon stretch. The use of …

The fabrication of auxetic fabrics by using conventional yarns and machinery has gained
extraordinary interest from researchers in recent years. However, to date this approach has …

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 …

This paper reports a new type of auxetic yarn made with circular braiding technology to
overcome the yarn slippage problem in the conventional helical auxetic yarn structure …

Poisson's ratio (PR) is defined as the negative ratio between the lateral strain and the
longitudinal strain of a material under tensile or compressive loading condition. Auxetic …
