MECHANICAL PROPERTY AND APPLICATION OF MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES WITH NEGATIVE POISSON'S RATIO

This paper reviews the development of research works in materials and structures with negative Poisson's ratio,including studies on auxetic behaviors and mechanical properties of natural and man-made materials and structures with negative Poisson's ratio,as well as their manufacturing methods and potential applications.Perspective is also suggested for future development of research and application of materials and structures with negative Poisson's ratio.
