Defect sensitivity of 2D lattice materials with positive, zero, and negative Poisson’s ratios

Submitted by Zuoqi Zhang on

Two-dimensional (2D) lattice materials with well-designed microstructures exhibit extraordinary properties such as zero and negative Poisson’s effects, and play a crucial role in industrial fields. However, inevitable defects from manufacturing, storage, transportation, and service may compromise their microstructures and functionalities. Therefore, it is important but still unclear: which microstructures and associated properties are most or least sensitive to defects.
