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…

Materials with negative Poisson's ratio, also known as auxetic materials, display exotic properties such as expansion in all directions under uni-axial tension. For their unique properties, these materials find a broad range of applications…

The in-plane infinitesimal deformations of graphene are well understood: they can be computed by solving the equilibrium problem for a sheet of isotropic elastic material with suitable stretching stiffness and Poisson coefficient…

The encapsulation of two-dimensional layered materials such as black phosphorus is of paramount importance for their stability in air. However, the encapsulation poses several questions, namely, how it affects, via the weak van der Waals…

Bilayers, soft substrates coated with stiff films, are commonly found in nature with examples including skin tissue, vesicles, and organ membranes. They exhibit different types of instabilities when subjected to compression, depending on…

Metamaterials can enable unique mechanical properties based on their geometry rather than their chemical composition. Such properties can go beyond what is possible using conventional materials. Most of the existing literature consider…

Anisotropic two-dimensional layered materials with low-symmetric lattices have attracted increasing attention due to their unique orientation-dependent mechanical properties. Black arsenic (b-As), with the puckered structure, exhibits…

We propose a novel two-dimensional hierarchical auxetic structure consisting of a porous medium in which a homogeneous matrix includes a rank-two set of cuts characterised by different scales. The six-fold symmetry of the perforations makes…

Very recently, two-dimensional(2D) boron sheets (borophene) with rectangular structure has been grown successfully on single crystal Ag(111) substrates.The fabricated boroprene is predicted to have unusual mechanical properties. We…

Black phosphorus (P), a layered material that can be isolated down to individual 2D crystalline sheets, exhibits highly anisotropic mechanical properties due to its corrugated crystal structure in each atomic layer, which are intriguing for…

Based on variable components global optimization algorithm, we predict a stable two-dimensional (2D) phase of boron phosphide with 1:5 stoichiometry, i.e. boron pentaphosphide (BP_5) monolayer, which has a lower formation energy than that…

The use of discrete material representation in numerical models is advantageous due to the straightforward way it takes into account material heterogeneity and randomness, and the discrete and orientated nature of cracks. Unfortunately, it…

Elastic anisotropy might be a combined effect of the intrinsic anisotropy and the anisotropy induced by thin-layering. The Backus average, a useful mathematical tool, allows us to describe such an effect quantitatively. The results are…

We perform classical molecular dynamics to investigate the effects of mechanical strain on single-layer black phosphorus nanoresonators at different temperatures. We find that the resonant frequency is highly anisotropic in black phosphorus…

We determine the Poisson ratio of self-avoiding fixed-connectivity membranes, modeled as impenetrable plaquettes, to be sigma=-0.37(6), in statistical agreement with the Poisson ratio of phantom fixed-connectivity membranes sigma=-0.32(4).…

This paper focuses on the conditions for obtaining auxetic, i.e. with a negative Poisson's ratio, composite laminates made of specially orthotropic layers. In particular, the layers considered are of three types: R1-orthotropic, i.e.…

The single-layer black phosphorus is characteristic for its puckered structure, which has leaded to highly anisotropy in its optical, electronic, and mechanical properties. We report, using the non-equilibrium Green's function approach and…

Using density functional theory combined with a semi-empirical van der Waals dispersion correction, we have investigated the stability of lattice defects including boron vacancy, substitutional and interstitial X (X=H, C, B, N, O) and…

Conditions for a maximum or minimum of Poisson's ratio of anisotropic elastic materials are derived. For a uniaxial stress in the 1-direction and Poisson's ratio $\nu$ defined by the contraction in the 2-direction, the following three…

Interlayer interactions in 2D materials, also known as van der Waals (vdWs) interactions, play a critical role in the physical properties of layered materials. It is fascinating to manipulate the vdWs interaction, and hence to "redefine"…
