AbstractThis paper investigates the suitability of auxetic materials for load-bearing circular plates. It is herein shown that the optimal Poisson's ratio for minimizing the bending stresses is strongly dependent on the final deformed shape, load distribution, and the type of edge supports. Specifically, the use of auxetic material for circular plates is recommended when (a) the plate is bent into a spherical or spherical-like cap, (b) a point load is applied to the center of the plate regardless of the edge conditions, and (c) a uniform load is applied on a simply-supported plate. However, auxetic materials are disadvantaged when a flat plate is to be bent into a saddle-like shell. The optimal Poisson's ratios concept recommended in this paper is useful for providing an added design consideration. In most cases, the use of auxetic materials for laterally loaded circular plates is more advantageous compared to the use of materials with conventional Poisson's ratio, with other factors fixed. This is achieved through materials-based stress re-distribution in addition to the common practices of dimensioning-based stress redistribution and materials strengthening.

This paper evaluates the elastic stability and vibration characteristics of circular plates made from auxetic materials. By solving the general solutions for buckling and vibration of circular plates under various boundary conditions, the critical buckling load factors and fundamental frequencies of circular plates, within the scope of the first axisymmetric modes, were obtained for the entire range of Poisson's ratio for isotropic solids, i.e., from −1 to 0.5. Results for elastic stability reveal that as the Poisson's ratio of the plate becomes more negative, the critical bucking load gradually reduces. In the case of vibration, the decrease in Poisson's ratio not only decreases the fundamental frequency, but the decrease becomes very rapid as the Poisson's ratio approaches its lower limit. For both buckling and vibration, the plate's Poisson's ratio has no effect if the edge is fully clamped. The results obtained herein suggest that auxetic materials can be employed for attaining static and dynamic properties which are not common in plates made from conventional materials. Based on the exact results, empirical models were generated for design purposes so that both the critical buckling load factors and the frequency parameters can be conveniently obtained without calculating the Bessel functions.

One of the most important and sensitive parameters defining the characteristic behavior of compliant-surface, fluid-film bearings has been found to be the value of Poisson’s ratio of the elastomer material—a 1 percent variation in ν in the range of common values produces about a 25 percent change in load carrying capacity. Since values of Poisson’s ratio for the common elastomers are unknown with any degree of accuracy, an experimental method has been devised to measure Poisson’s ratio for typical cases to better than four significant figures. This paper describes the method together with an error analysis and typical data from elastomeric samples.

Plastic Indentation

Abstract The elasto-plastic indentation of auxetic and metal foams is investigated using the finite element method. The contributions of yield strain, elastic, and plastic Poisson’s ratio on the indentation hardness are identified. For a given yield strain, when the plastic Poisson’s ratio is reduced from 0.5, the indentation hardness decreases first and then increases. This trend was found to be valid for a wide of yield strains. For yield strains less than 0.08, the hardness of auxetic materials is much larger when compared with materials having positive plastic Poisson’s ratio. As the plastic Poisson’s ratio approaches −1, the elastic deformations dominate over the plastic deformations. The plastic dissipation, when compared with the elastic work, is lower for materials with negative Poisson’s ratio. There is no effect of elastic Poisson’s ratio on the indentation hardness when the plastic Poisson’s ratio is more than −0.8. When the plastic Poisson’s ratio is less than −0.8, the hardness increases with a decrease of elastic Poisson’s ratio. The plastic dissipation per unit strain energy is maximum for materials with vanishing plastic Poisson’s ratio.

The influence of auxeticity on the mechanical behavior of isotropic plates is considered herein by evaluating the plate flexural rigidity as the Poisson's ratio changes from 0.5 to -1. Since the change in plate's Poisson's ratio is followed by a change in at least one of the three moduli, any resulting change to the plate flexural rigidity is only meaningful when at least one of the moduli is held constant. This was performed by normalizing the plate flexural rigidity by a single modulus, a square root of two moduli product, or a cube root of three moduli product to give a dimensionless plate flexural rigidity. It was found that the plate flexural rigidity decreases to a minimum as the plate Poisson's ratio decreases from 0.5 to 0 when only the Young's modulus is held constant. Thereafter the plate flexural rigidity increases with the plate auxeticity. Results also reveal that when only the shear modulus or when the bulk modulus is held constant, the plate flexural rigidity decreases or increases, respectively, with the plate auxeticity. Intermediate trend in the plate flexural rigidity is observed when the product of two moduli is held constant. When the product of all three moduli is held constant, the plate flexural rigidity increases with the plate auxeticity, and the change is especially drastic when the plate Poisson's ratio is near to the upper and lower limits of Poisson's ratio for isotropic solids. Results from this work are useful for structural designers to control the flexural rigidity of plate made from auxetic materials.
