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 …

Auxetic materials exhibiting a negative Poisson's ratio are of great research interest due to
their unusual mechanical responses and a wide range of potential deployment. However …

Novel 3D printed square auxetic tubular lattice (SATL) structures were designed, fabricated
and investigated. Their mechanical properties were examined by the finite element method …

The surge of interest in so-called “designer materials” during the last few years together with
recent advances in additive manufacturing (3D printing) techniques that enable fabrication …

In this paper, we give a review of the state of the art in the study of mechanical
metamaterials. The very attractive property of having a microstructure capable of …

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 …

Recent advances in lithography technology and the spread of 3D printers allow us a facile
fabrication of special materials with complicated microstructures. The materials are called …

Materials with negative Poisson's ratio attract considerable attention due to their underlying
intriguing physical properties and numerous promising applications, particularly in stringent …
