Abstract

A new class of auxetic cellular solids has been recently developed for enhanced mechanical performance and reduced modal density characteristics for middle and high-frequency behavior. Contrary to classic centresymmetric auxetic (negative Poisson’s ratio° honeycombs, these cellular solids have isotropic in-plane properties with a Poisson’s ratio close to -1, and feature enhanced out-of-plane strength and synclastic curvature. The fl exural and S-H wave propagation behaviour is modelled for these honeycomb structures, and their modal densities estimated by their pass-stop band frequency distributions and integrated over the propagation contant intervals. Experimental tests carries out with noncontact scanning laser vibrometers are used to detect the modal density distributions and their dependence over the unit cell topology.
