Dimpled elastic sheets: a new class of non-porous negative Poisson’s ratio materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we report a novel periodic material with negative Poisson's ratio (also called auxetic materials) fabricated by denting spherical dimples in an elastic flat sheet. While previously reported auxetic materials are either porous or comprise at least two phases, the material proposed here is non-porous and made of a homogeneous elastic sheet. Importantly, the auxetic behavior is induced by a novel mechanism which exploits the out-of-plane deformation of the spherical dimples. Through a combination of experiments and numerical analyses, we demonstrate the robustness of the proposed concept, paving the way for developing a new class of auxetic materials that significantly expand their design space and possible applications.

We argue that the effective Poisson ratio of cellular and porous solids is independent of the material of the solid phase, if the mechanism of the cell wall deformation is dominated by beam bending —thus rendering it to be a purely kinematic quantity. Introducing a kinematic simplification and requiring statistical isotropy, we prove a result of remarkable generality that the effective Poisson ...

متن کاملNegative Poisson's ratio behavior induced by an elastic instability.
When materials are compressed along a particular axis they are most commonly observed to expand in directions orthogonal to the applied load. The property that characterizes this behavior is the Poisson’s ratio, which is defined as the ratio between the negative transverse and longitudinal strains. The majority of materials are characterized by a positive Poisson’s ratio, which is approximately...
