Mechanical Properties of Auxetic Cellular Material Consisting of Re-Entrant Hexagonal Honeycombs

A preliminary study of the mechanical properties of auxetic cellular material consisting of re-entrant hexagonal honeycombs is presented. For different scales of the honeycombs, the finite element method (FEM) and experimental models are used to perform a parametric analysis on the effects of the Po...
