Abstract
AbstractWe show that a composite material with one phase having negative bulk and Young's moduli (and therefore being unstable by itself) can be stable overall under dead traction boundary conditions if the encapsulating phase is sufficiently stiff. We also show experimental evidence that appropriate tuning of the negative‐stiffness phase can lead to bound‐exceeding elastic and viscoelastic overall material response.
