A Novel Mechanical Metamaterial Exhibiting Auxetic Behavior and Negative Compressibility

Auxetics (negative Poisson’s ratio) and materials with negative linear compressibility (NLC) exhibit the anomalous mechanical properties of getting wider rather than thinner when stretched and expanding in at least one direction under hydrostatic pressure, respectively. A novel mechanism&a...
