Abstract

A type of structural metamaterials known as auxetics has a negative Poisson's ratio. Auxetic structurals have been found to possess a number of better qualities when compared to traditional ones, including: greater energy absorption, stronger indentation resistance, and enhanced mechanical properties. As a result, auxetic structures are becoming more known as a high-performance, lightweight defensive construction that can survive collisions and blasts.
