The Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of CFRP laminates can be varied by changing their stacking sequences. CFRP with the specific stacking sequence can theoretically perform the “negative” Poisson’s ratio, which causes extension in the direction perpendicular to the loading direction, for example. However, the relationship between Poisson's ratio and fracture morphology has not yet been elucidated. In this study, tensile tests were performed for CFRP laminates with negative, zero and positive Poisson’s ratios, and failure morphologies were experimentally investigated.

In this work, through the use of a theoretical model, we analyse the potential of a specific three-dimensional mechanical metamaterial composed of arrowhead-like structural units to exhibit a negative Poisson’s ratio for an arbitrary loading direction. Said analysis allows us to assess its suitability for use in applications where materials must be able to respond in a desired manner to a stimulus applied in multiple directions. As a result of our studies, we show that the analysed system is capable of exhibiting auxetic behaviour for a broad range of loading directions, with isotropic behaviour being shown in some planes. In addition to that, we show that there are also certain loading directions in which the system manifests negative linear compressibility. This enhances its versatility and suitability for a number of applications where materials exhibiting auxetic behaviour or negative linear compressibility are normally implemented.

Fabrics with zero or negative Poisson’s ratio are referred as auxetic fabrics, which have the unusual property of lateral expansion or zero expansion upon stretch. The use of conventional materials and machinery to produce auxetic fabrics has gained the interest of researchers in recent years. However, this approach is limited to knitted fabrics only. The development of auxetic fabric using conventional yarns and weaving technology is a research area that is still unaddressed. This paper reports a study on the development of a novel class of stretchable auxetic woven fabrics by using conventional yarns and weaving machinery. The phenomenon of differential shrinkage was successfully employed to realize auxetic geometries capable of inducing auxetic behavior in woven fabrics, and a series of auxetic woven fabrics were fabricated with elastic and non-elastic yarns and a dobby machine. The uni-axial tensile tests showed that auxetic woven fabrics developed exhibited zero or negative Poisson’s ratio over a wide range of longitudinal strain.

In this study, a through-the-thickness negative Poisson's ratio of an angle-ply carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminate is experimentally investigated using a 3D digital scanning method. For this, an image-based measurement method using a 3D digital scanner is developed to obtain the thickness change of CFRP laminates. The thickness change is used to calculate the through-the-thickness Poisson's ratio of CFRP laminates. Then, a tensile test of a [±θ°] angle-ply CFRP laminate is performed, and the through-the-thickness Poisson's ratio is measured based on the developed method. The results obtained suggest that the through-the-thickness Poisson's ratio exhibits negative values which become increasingly negative as (visco)plastic deformation progresses in the laminate, as demonstrated in our previous analysis.

Based on the hyperbolic tangent shear deformation theory, free vibration and sound insulation of two different types of functionally graded (FG) honeycomb sandwich plates with negative Poisson’s ratio are studied in this paper. Using Hamilton’s principle, the vibration and vibro-acoustic coupling dynamic equations for FG honeycomb sandwich plates with simply supported edges are established. By applying the Navier’s method and fluid–solid interface conditions, the derived governing dynamic equations are solved. The natural frequencies and the sound insulation of FG honeycomb sandwich plates obtained in this work are compared with the numerical results by the finite element simulation. It is proven that the theoretical models for the free vibration and the sound insulation are accurate and efficient. Moreover, FG sandwich plates with different honeycomb cores are investigated and compared. The corresponding results show that the FG honeycomb core with negative Poisson’s ratio can yield much lower frequencies. Then, the influences of various geometrical and material parameters on the vibration and sound insulation performance are systematically analyzed.
