Investigation of the Auxetic of a novel geometric structure and improvement of Poisson’s ratio at different inner thicknesses

Abstract

Poisson’s ratio, one of the important mechanical properties of materials and structures, is positive for almost all of the known materials and structures. However, auxetic materials or structures has negative Poisson’s ratios. Characteristics of the auxetic structures are very important to be used in design of a new structure. Computational or experimental studies on auxetic structures have been increasing in literature. In this study, a new auxetic lattice structure with different Poisson’s ratios was designed and studied by finite element analysis. Mechanical properties of the newly designed auxetic lattice structures were analyzed with different lattice inner thickness. Results showed that change in inner thickness affects the Poisson’s ratio, mass, volume and surface area of the newly designed Auxetic lattice structures.
