The document discusses negative Poisson's ratio, which is a rare property where a material expands laterally instead of contracting when stretched longitudinally. This behavior is opposite to most materials which contract when stretched. The document provides examples of engineered foams and honeycomb structures that exhibit this negative Poisson's ratio property, allowing them to become fatter instead of thinner when stretched. It also lists common materials and their positive Poisson's ratios.

Poisson’s Ratio • Poisson's ratio , also called the Poisson coefficient. trans x • It is the ratio of transverse axial y contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain in a stretched bar.
• Since most common materials
become thinner in cross section when stretched.
• Poisson's ratio for them is
positive. Poisson’s Ratio • The reason is that inter-atomic bonds realign with deformation.
• Stretching of normal honeycomb, shown on
the right, illustrates the concept.
• Normal polymer foams or cellular solids,
above left, have a positive Poisson's ratio. Poisson ratio of various Materials Material Poisson’s Ratio Material Poisson’s Ratio
Rubber ~ 0.50 Steel 0.27-0.30
saturated clay 0.40-0.50 cast iron 0.21-0.26 Magnesium 0.35 Sand 0.20-0.45 Titanium 0.34 Concrete 0.2 Copper 0.33 Glass 0.18-0.3 aluminum-alloy 0.33 Foam 0.10 to 0.40 Clay 0.30-0.45 Cork ~ 0.00 stainless steel 0.30-0.31 Auxetics Negative Negative Poisson’s Ratio • Re-entrant polymer foams developed in our laboratory have a negative Poisson's ratio.
• After our original article
appeared in Science, they were called anti-rubber by James Glieck of the New York Times.
• and were called auxetic
(or auxetics, or auxetic materials) [1] Negative Poisson’s Ratio • and were called dilational by mathematician Graeme Milton of the University of Utah.
• Negative Poisson's ratio
chiral honeycomb, above center, unrolls when stretched.
• Negative Poisson's ratio
re-entrant honeycomb unfolds when stretched. Negative Poisson’s Ratio • A novel foam structure is presented, which exhibits a negative Poisson's ratio.
• Such a material expands
laterally (gets fatter) when stretched.
• See the upper foam
(cellular solid) in the above image. Negative Poisson’s Ratio • Such behavior is in contrast to ordinary materials such as the lower foam in the image above.
• For example, rubber has a Poisson's ratio
approaching the isotropic upper limit 0.5 and therefore becomes substantially thinner when stretched.
• Negative Poisson ratio solids easily undergo
volume changes. Reference • [1] by K. Evans and co-workers in Exeter, England, and F. Scarpa and co-workers in Bristol, England.
