MICROSTRUCTURE DESIGN AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES ANALYSIS OF POROUS BONE WITH NEGATIVE POISSION’S RATIO (MT) by YE JianHua, LI DongYu, LIN Jia, ZENG ShouJin, WEI TiePing, XU MingSan

“…The variation rules between mechanical properties and structural parameters such as strength and elastic modulus were revealed through compression tests, and the matching degree of negative Poisson’s ratio microstructure and human bone was evaluated. The experimental results show that the auxetic structure has good manufacturability, and the forming quality is correlated with the concave angle and porosity.The mechanical properties of negative Poisson’s ratio auxetic structure are highly dependent on the geometric structure and porosity of the cell.Compared with the positive Poisson’s ratio structure, the auxetic structure with negative Poisson’s ratio has lower elastic modulus and similar yield strength under the same porosity, and can control the 316 L stainless steel bone material with wide span elastic modulus by 0.47 GPa～1.75 GPa.Therefore, the negative Poisson’s ratio auxetic microstructure has potential advantages in the application of human bone structure.…”
