Zusammenfassung:A material for exhibiting Zero Poisson's Ratio (ZPR), e.g. for use as a morphing material in an aircraft skin. The material has a tessellated cellular structure where each cell has a substantially fish shape. Tessellations can be arranged in columns in the same direction or opposite directions, preferably with connectors therebetween. The fish shape may be formed from a combination of polygons, concave polygons and convex polygons.
