Abstract

We find the asymptotic behavior of the homogenized coefficients of elasticity for the chess-board structure. In the chess board white and black cells are isotropic and have Lamé constants (λ, μ,) and (δλ, δμ) respectively. We assume that the black cells are soft, so δ →0. It turns out that the Poisson ratio for this composite tends to zero with δ.
