In-plane elasticity of a novel auxetic honeycomb design

Hierarchical honeycomb auxetic metamaterials

Most conventional materials expand in transverse directions when they are compressed uniaxially resulting in the familiar positive Poisson's ratio. Here we develop a new class of two dimensional (2D) metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio that contract in transverse directions under uniaxial compressive loads leading to auxeticity. This is achieved through mechanical instabilities (i.e., b...

Active inflatable auxetic honeycomb structural concept for morphing wingtips

This paper describes a new concept of an active honeycomb structure for morphing wingtip applications based on tubular inflatable systems and an auxetic cellular structure. A work-energy model to predict the output honeycomb displacement versus input pressure is developed together with a finite element formulation, and the results are compared with the data obtained from a small-scale example o...

investigating the integration of translation technologies into translation programs in iranian universities: basis for a syllabus design in translation technology

today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...

Topological Derivatives in Plane Elasticity

We present a method for construction of the topological derivatives in plane elasticity. It is assumed that a hole is created in the subdomain of the elastic body which is filled out with isotropic material. The asymptotic analysis of elliptic boundary value problems in singularly perturbed geometrical domains is used in order to derive the asymptotics of the shape functionals depending on the ...
