To obtain materials or metamaterials with desired elastic properties that are tailor-made for a
particular application, it is necessary to design a new material or composite (which may be …

Auxetics are materials, metamaterials or structures which expand laterally in at least one
cross-sectional plane when uniaxially stretched, that is, have a negative Poisson's ratio …

Designing a particular change in a system structure to achieve the desired elastic properties
of materials for a given task is challenging. Recent studies of purely geometrical atomic …

It is known that a face centered cubic (fcc) crystal of identical hard spheres containing a
periodic array of nanochannels, oriented along one of the principal crystallographic …

In this work the systems composed of particles interacting with hard potential are
investigated. These systems feature certain modifications to the crystal structure-selected …

This is the fifteenth volume of I Physica Status Solidi B i focussed on materials and models
showing negative Poisson's ratio (PR), which are often called auxetics, and other systems of …

It is known that changes on the microscopic, structural level of materials exert changes on
their macroscopic properties, in particular elastic ones. This approach can be used to alter …
