Simple cubic three-dimensional auxetic metamaterials

Elastic instability of soft cellular solids plays an increasingly important role in the creation of metamaterials with smart properties. Inspiration for much of this research comes from a planar metamaterial with negative Poisson's ratio behavior induced by elastic instability. Here we extend the concept of buckling induced pattern switch further to the design of a new series of three-dimensional metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio over a large strain range. The highlight of this work is that our designs are based on very simple initial geometric shapes. Different deformation patterns of materials without and with auxetic behavior.
