Analysis of mechanical properties in negative Poisson's ratio metamaterials

JunGang Huang and Biao Li

Vol. 19 (2024), No. 5, 787–799
Abstract

The mechanical properties of an auxetic metamaterial (one with negative Poisson’s ratio) derived from hinged triangles were investigated. First, a general coordinate formula is given, and a method for the rapid prediction of the Poisson’s ratio and mechanical properties of such models is developed by combining the finite element method with homogenization techniques. The effects of rotation angle and side length on the Poisson’s ratios and effective moduli in the X- and Y-directions are discussed and experimentally validated. Finally, the mechanical properties of 3D auxetic materials composed of different angles and side lengths are analyzed. The results show that the proposed method accurately forecasts the mechanical behavior of the model. These analyses provide a theoretical foundation for the rapid design of negative Poisson’s ratio structures based on mechanical performance requirements.
