On three-dimensional dilational elastic metamaterials

Dilational materials are stable, three-dimensional isotropic auxetics with an ultimate Poisson's ratio of −1. Inspired by previous theoretical work, we design a feasible blueprint for an artificial material, a metamaterial, which approaches the ideal of a dilational material. The main novelty o...
