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.

Numerical analysis of hydrogen-assisted rolling-contact fatigue of wind turbine bearings
Offshore wind parks at locations further from the shore often involve serious difficulties, e.g. the maintenance. The bearings of offshore wind turbines are prone to suffer hydrogen-assisted rolling-contact fatig...
Application of the Moment Of Inertia method to the Critical-Plane Approach
The Moment-Of-Inertia (MOI) method has been proposed by the authors to solve some of the shortcomings of convex-enclosure methods, when they are used to calculate path-equivalent ranges and mean components of comp...
Development of a Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF) multiaxial testing device
The very high cycle region of the S-N fatigue curve has been the subject of intensive research on the last years, with special focus on axial, bending, torsional and fretting fatigue tests. Very high cycle fatigue...
