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

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 …

Auxetic materials and structures have many potential applications due to their counter-
intuitive deformation behavior and desirable mechanical properties. However, auxetic …

Auxetic materials exhibiting a negative Poisson's ratio are shown to have better indentation
resistance, impact shielding capability, and enhanced toughness. Here, we report a class of …

The emerging concept of mechanical meta-materials has received increasing attention
during the last few years partially due to the advances in additive manufacturing techniques …

A novel natural drying (ND) strategy for low-cost and simple fabrication of graphene
aerogels (GAs) is highlighted. The as-formed NDGAs exhibit ultralarge reversible …

Auxetic metamaterials have many exceptional mechanical properties due to their counter-
intuitive deformation characteristics. However, most studies on auxetic metamaterials focus …

In this paper, two new 2D re-entrant topologies with negative Poisson's ratio are presented
and their mechanical properties (Poisson's ratio and energy absorption capacity) are studied …

Auxetic metamaterials are synthetic materials with microstructures engineered to achieve
negative Poisson's ratios. Auxetic metamaterials are of great interest because of their …

This paper mainly concerns effects of the auxetic structure on the crash performances in
terms of the axial crash force, specific energy absorption, and deceleration, which are …
