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 …

Auxetic materials and structures have attracted increasing attention because of their
extraordinary mechanical properties. Various types of auxetic tubular structures have been …

Seismic metamaterial (SM) has lately received significant attention in the field of vibration
isolation and damping due to its wave manipulation and bandgap properties. However, the …

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 …

Auxetic materials with negative Poisson's ratio (PR) exhibit superior mechanical properties
with regard to energy absorption, while their potential for surface wave shielding is only in its …

Featured Application Auxetic open cell foam was used as the comfort layer within a sports
helmet and has been shown to reduce the severity of linear impacts. The work undertaken …

Auxetic foam materials contract (expand) laterally under uniaxial compressive (tensile) load.
Due to superior characteristics of auxetic foam, eg, shear resistance and in-plane …

Auxetic materials have a negative Poisson's ratio, which can enhance other properties.
Greater indentation resistance and energy absorption, as well as synclastic curvature, could …

Auxetic behavior is a promising new area for use in defense applications. In comparison to a
conventional material, an auxetic material has superior properties because of having a …
