In this paper we propose diff erent classes of isotropic microstructured media with tunable Poisson's ratio. The elastic periodic systems are continuous porous media and two- and three-dimensional lattices. The microstructural parameters can be tuned in order to have an eff ective Poisson's ratio equal to zero. The connection between microstructural parameters and eff ective properties is shown in detail both analytically and numerically.

Nanoporous Materials

Porous materials can be created by a variety of methods and exhibit properties that are advantageous in certain applications, e.g. insulation, energy absorption, and core materials in sandwich panels. As the length scale of the pores/ligaments is reduced below one micron, size effects arise and cause changes in the deformation mechanisms that operate in the ligament material. The mechanical properties can change dramatically, especially for so-called “nanoporous metals”, which have pores and ligaments as small as a few nanometers.

porous material
This is a general micromechanic question.

Suppose we have a microstructured 2-phases material with random inclusions (or a porous material with random pores) and we make a real tensile test (monoaxial loading in the vertical direction of a specimen with nominal length L). We want to model such tensile test with FEM (for instance with Abaqus) like in this pic:
