Chiral three-dimensional lattices with tunable Poisson’s ratio
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chiral three-dimensional cubic lattices are developed with rigid cubical nodules and analyzed via finite element analysis. The lattices exhibit geometry dependent Poisson’s ratio that can be tuned to negative values. Poisson’s ratio tends to zero as the cubes become further apart. The lattices exhibit stretch-twist coupling. Such coupling cannot occur in a classical elastic continuum but it can occur in a chiral Cosserat solid.

Chiral three-dimensional isotropic lattices with negative Poisson’s ratio
Chiral three-dimensional isotropic cubic lattices with rigid cubical nodules and multiple deformable ribs are developed and analyzed via finite element analysis. The lattices exhibit geometry dependent Poisson’s ratio that can be tuned to negative values. Poisson’s ratio decreases from positive to negative values as the number of cells increases. Isotropy is obtained by adjustment of aspect rat...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Size and Structure Effect on Tensile Characteristics of Symmetric and Asymmetric CNTs
In this research, the influence of structure on the tensile properties of single- walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is evaluated using molecular mechanics technique and finite element method. The effects of diameter, length and chiral angle on elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio of armchair, zigzag and chiral structures are investigated. To simulate the CNTs, a 3D FEM code is developed using the A...
متن کاملWave Propagation and Band-gap Characteristics of Chiral Lattices
Plane wave propagation in a chiral lattice is investigated through the application of Bloch’s theorem. Two-dimensional dispersion relations are estimated and analyzed to illustrate peculiar properties of chiral or non-centrosymmetric configurations and investigate the directional behavior of wave propagation for varying geometric parameters. Special attention is devoted to the determination of ...
متن کاملAn Isotropic Auxetic Structural Network with Limited Shear Stiffness
The chiral lattice is a unique structural network not symmetric to its mirror image, and with a negative Poisson’s ratio. Previous investigations have considered this structural network for the design of superior structural components with sandwich construction, but these were limited by the in-plane Poisson’s ratio predicted to be exactly −1. This paper presents estimates of the mechanical pro...
متن کاملA unit cell structure with tunable Poisson ' s ratio from positive to negative
A novel unit cell structure with re-entrant hollow skeleton is designed and its Poisson's ratio has been studied using the finite element method (FEM) as a function of the geometric variables and the parent material Poisson's ratio. The simulation results showed that the Poisson's ratio of the unit cell structure is tunable over the full range of Poisson’s ratio (-1 to +0.5) by varying the geom...
