3D composite metamaterial with magnetic inclusions exhibiting negative stiffness and auxetic behaviour

In this work, through the use of a theoretical model and experimental testing, we investigate a novel three-dimensional mechanical metamaterial composed of structural units consisting of two arrowhead-like elements with magnetic inclusions. We show that such system has a capability to exhibit negati...
