Effective properties of a new auxetic triangular lattice:an analytical approach
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 29
Abstract
In this article we propose a new auxetic periodic lattice with negative Poisson's ratio which tends tothe limit ν=-1 under particular conditions. We have studied its generation and kinematic, and we give a fulldescription of the mechanical properties of this innovative model. Calibrating the geometrical configuration ofthe lattice and the mechanical properties of the constituent material we are able to have a Poisson's ratio whichis arbitrarily close to -1.

Ultrasonic fatigue testing device under biaxial bending
A new fatigue testing device has been developed to test specimens under biaxial loading at 20 kHz. A flat smooth specimen with a disc geometry is placed on a torus frame and cyclically loaded at the center of its&...
Role of the microstructure on the mechanical properties of fully pearlitic eutectoid steels
This paper analyses how the microstructure of an eutectoid pearlitic steel affects its conventional mechanical properties (obtained by means of a standard tension test) and the associated micromechanisms of fract...
3D Analyses of crack propagation in torsion
The initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks during cyclic torsion loading was studied in a cast Al alloy (A357) with a relatively large (~500 μm) grain size. 2D observations, revealed that multi site crack i...
Evaluation of stress intensity factor of multiple inclined cracks under biaxial loading
A finite rectangular plate of unit thickness with two inclined cracks (parallel and non parallel) under biaxial mixed mode condition are modelled using finite element method. The finite element method is used for d...
Use of a gray level co-occurrence matrix to characterize duplex stainless steel phases microstructure
Duplex stainless steels are widely used in industry. This is due to their higher strength compared to austenitic steels and to their higher toughness than ferritic steels. They also have good weldability and high resista...
