Abstract
potential in low-frequency seismic wave attenuation and earthquake-resistant construction.
This review explores recent advancements in auxetic metamaterials for seismic engineering,
focusing on their wave suppression mechanisms, structural reinforcement, and energy
dissipation capabilities. Numerical simulations and experimental studies demonstrate significant
improvements in bandgap widths, vibration damping, and seismic acceleration reduction when
using NPR-based metamaterials. These materials have been successfully integrated into base
isolators, shear walls, and bracing systems, showing superior mechanical performance compared
to conventional materials. However, challenges remain in terms of large-scale implementation,
economic feasibility, and long-term behavior under repeated seismic loading. This review
highlights key advancements, current limitations, and future research directions, emphasizing
the potential of auxetic metamaterials in next-generation earthquake-resistant infrastructure.
