A challenge in nano- and micro-mechanics is the realization of innovative materials exploiting auxetic behaviour to tailor thermal expansion properties. For this purpose, a new class of micro-structured media possessing an extremely wide range of tunable (positive, negative or even zero) thermal expansion is proposed and analytically and experimentally assessed. For this class of isotropic <i>Mechanical-Auxetic Thermal-Shrinking</i> media, the effective coefficient of thermal expansion is explic ...[more]
