Abstract

A scalable mechanical metamaterial simultaneously displaying negative stiffness and negative Poisson's ratio responses is presented. Interlocking hexagonal subunit assemblies containing 3 alternative embedded negative stiffness (NS) element types display Poisson's ratio values of –1 and NS values over two orders of magnitude (–1.4 N mm−1 to –160 N mm−1), in good agreement with model predictions.
