Realizing negative Poisson's ratio in unstressed spring networks
arXiv:1810.10768 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevMaterials.3.055607
Abstract
When randomly displacing the nodes of a crystalline and unstressed spring network, we find that the Possion's ratio decreases with the increase of structural disorder and even becomes negative. Employing our finding that longer springs tend to contribute more to the shear modulus but less to the bulk modulus, we are able to achieve negative Poisson's ratio with lower structural disorder by attributing each spring a length dependent stiffness. Even with perfect crystalline structure, the network can have negative Possion's ratio, if the stiffness of each spring is set by its virtual length after a virtual network distortion. We also reveal that the nonaffine contribution arising from the structural or spring constant disorder produced in some cooperative way by network distortion is essential to the emergence of negative Poisson's ratio.
