Abstract

One of the methods in understanding the real microstructure of auxetic material is by separating it into several simplified structures that have distinct mechanisms. Among those simplified structures are chiral and re-entrant structures. This paper adapts a 2D re-entrant structure for a 3D auxetic structure. A re-entrant structure is chosen due to its fundamental characteristics underlying the main characteristics of auxetic materials. The energy methods of solid mechanics along with numerical methods are used to study the fundamental concept of auxetic materials. Understanding the characteristics of the re-entrant structure will lead to the better comprehension of other structures of auxetic materials, which will eventually contribute to the advance of research in this new class of materials
