Abstract
A counterintuitive material of a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) is presented. Its material structure design is realized by the result from topology optimization and a compliant mechanism. The NPR structural material has the composite configuration of resin and elastomer. Taking advantage of the stiffness from the resin and the compliance from the elastomer, the NPR structural materials are made and tested. Their performance has been compared to the theoretical prediction and two sirigle-material-based configurations.
