The Development of a New Shock Absorbing Uniaxial Graded Auxetic Damper (UGAD)

Auxetic structures are efficient cellular materials that can absorb blast/impact energy through plastic deformation, thus protecting the structure. They are developing sacrificial solutions with light weight, high specific strength, high specific toughness and excellent energy dissipating properties...
