Abstract

Negative Poisson’s ratio of polymeric foam can be obtained by using the thermal transformation method to convert cell shape from convex to reentrant ones. In this work, the large-deformation finite element analysis is performed to quantify the magnitudes of compression and temperature for subsequent heat treatment to reduce elastic recovery, such that the reentrant shape can be maintained when the compression is removed. The amount of compression and temperature for heat treatment that can produce NPR foam can be used as a guide for experimental investigations, instead of trial-and-error methods to determine manufacturing parameters.
