- This paper applies a technique, previously developed to study honeycomb structures, to study auxetic materials placed under thermal stress by fire-induced loss of structural integrity. The importance of this novel development is that it enhances the theoretical treatment of thermo-elasticity for auxetic and similar materials, like foamed or charred protection, when exposed to extreme heat and associated mass loss during pyrolysis. The method provides a unique approach to modelling the behaviour of materials when charring in a fire which is not accessible by another technique and provides a novel tool to support the Fire Engineering Group’s research into fire safety.
