Auxetic Plates on Auxetic Foundation
Abstract:
Auxetic solids are materials that exhibit negative Poisson’s ratio. This paper evaluates the maximum stresses in point-loaded (a) auxetic plates on conventional elastic foundation, (b) conventional plates on auxetic elastic foundation, and (c) auxetic plates on auxetic elastic foundation vis-à-vis conventional plates on conventional elastic foundation. Using thick plate theory for infinite plates on elastic foundation, it was found that in most cases the auxetic plates and auxetic foundation play the primary and secondary roles, respectively, in reducing the plate’s maximum stresses. It is herein suggested that, in addition to materials selection technique and other design considerations, the use of auxetic plates and/or auxetic foundation be introduced for reducing stresses in plates on elastic foundations.
