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 …

Auxetic materials are a kind of non-conventional materials having negative Poisson's ratio.
They laterally expand when stretched or laterally shrink when compressed. Compared to …

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 …

This article reviews recent developments in fibers and textiles for Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) applications. Fibers are grouped into six categories: highly extensible …

Flat knitting is a widely used fabric manufacturing technology. Compared with warp knitting
and circular knitting, flat knitting is characterized by its higher process flexibility and greater …

This paper introduces a novel fibre structure known as the helical auxetic yarn (HAY). The
geometry of the yarn is defined and the manufacturing process described. A range of HAYs …

This paper presents a systematic experimental study on static and dynamic compressive
behaviour of 3D octet, re-entrant honeycomb and triangular lattice reinforced ultra-high …

Analogy with the standard anti-tri-chiral auxetic structure, a novel anti-tri-missing rib structure
is proposed in this work. Finite element (FE) analyses (on one unit-cell) were carried out first …
