Experimental Micro Mechanics Methods for Conventional and Negative Poisson’s Ratio Cellular Solids as Cosserat Continua

Abstract: Continuum representations of micromechanical phenomena in structured materials are described, with emphasis on cellular solids. These phenomena are interpreted in light of Cosserat elasticity, a generalized continuum theory which admits degrees of freedom not present in classical elasticity. These are the rotation of points in the material, and a couple per unit area or couple stress. Experimental work in this area is reviewed, and other interpretation schemes are discussed. The applicability of Cosserat elast… Show more

“…The plane strain state is described by two in-plane displacements u 1 , u 2 and one out-of-plane microrotation φ 3 . In addition to stresses σ 11 , σ 12 , σ 21 , σ 22 (note, that σ 12 = σ 21 ), two couple-stresses m 13 , m 23 are introduced (figure 1), and the following constitutive equations hold [4].…”

“…In this context the following approaches can be cast: the wellknown Eringen's integral theory [1,2], involving a stress-strain relation between the stress at a given point and the strain in the whole volume of the continuum; the gradient elasticity theories [3,4], with constitutive equations depending on the gradients of stresses or strains; the peridynamic theory [5], involving long-range elementary forces depending on relative displacements between non-adjacent points; the well-known micropolar ''Cosserat'' theory [6] and the couple-stress theory [7], according to which any material point is endowed with translational and rotational degrees of freedom, with resulting workconjugate curvatures and couple stresses. Regarding micropolar or couple-stress theories, many interesting studies have been devoted to explain, on a physical basis, the relation with microstructural effects, see for instance those by Kröner [8] and Lakes [9].…”

“…Generally, the Poisson's ratio is a function of the spatially and temporally changing moduli and stresses, and varies accordingly. For instance, we have ( ) Auxetic materials have a negative Poisson's ratio for large spatial; and temporal domains and are expected to have interesting mechanical properties, such as high energy absorption, fracture toughness, indentation resistance and enhanced shear moduli, which may be useful in some applications [2][3][4][5][6]. Scientists have been aware of the existence of auxetic materials for over a hundred years, though without very special attention, and treating them as an accident or a curiosity.…”
