Auxetic textile reinforced composites: classification, mechanical properties an...
Hoa, Nguyen N. X.; Peixoto, Joaquim; Cabral, Isabel; Fangueiro, Raúl; Ferreira, Fernando; QUYEN, NGUYEN-TRONGAuxetic textile reinforced composites are increasingly used in various industries such as aerospace, construc tion, automotive, medicine, sport, etc. due to their distinctive advantages. This paper reports a review of the mechanical properties and applications of auxetic composites. This review puts an emphasis on auxetic fibres, yarns, and fabrics that can be used to fabricate auxetic composites.
A review on auxetic knitted fabrics: geometrical structures, auxetic performanc...
Hoa, Nguyen N. X.; Peixoto, Joaquim; Cabral, Isabel; Fangueiro, Raúl; Ferreira, Fernando; QUYEN, NGUYEN-TRONGKnitting technology is one of the most important textile processes. It has advantages of high structural va riability, high materials adaptability, high productivity and huge potential for applications in both apparel and industries. The studies have shown that both weft- and warp knitting have been adopted for producing auxetic knitted fabrics based on different auxetic geometrical structures. This paper summa...
Auxetic materials and structures for potential defense applications
Hoa, Nguyen N. X.; Peixoto, Joaquim; Cabral, Isabel; Fangueiro, Raúl; Ferreira, Fernando; QUYEN, NGUYEN-TRONGAn auxetic material exhibits exceptional features compared to conventional material. It gets broadened when it is stretched or becomes smaller when it is compressed because it has a negative Poisson’s ratio. Moreover, auxetic materials possess some enhanced properties, such as shear resistance, indentation resistance, fracture toughness, energy absorption, etc. These enhanced properties make the auxetic materia...
