N2 - Auxetic material has a negative Poison's ratio. Thus when loaded in uniaxial tension. It expands laterally. Using an auxetic material as a core material for sandwich panels used in marine structures has multiple advantages: it has a better resistance to indentation, better resistance to low velocity impact damage, better acoustic noise absorption, better forming capability into convex-convex shapes, better shear failure resistance and better fracture toughness. In this investigation, auxetic foams made of PVC and other materials are manufactured and their mechanical properties characterized using a unique macro/nano speckle technique developed in our lab.
