Abstract: | Auxetic materials exhibit the very unusual properties of becoming wider when stretched and narrower when squashed [1], that is they have negative Poisson’s ratios. Apart from the pure scientific interest of having materials showing such an unconventional property, a negative Poisson’s ratio gives a material several other beneficial effects such as an increased shear stiffness, an increased plane strain fracture toughness and an in- creased indentation resistance. These properties make auxetics superior to conventional materials for many practical applications. |
