ABSTRACT = {Microstructures can lead to homogeneous materials with negative Poisson’s ratio, the so-called auxetics. An automatic way to create such microstructures
is provided by topology optimization for compliant mechanisms. Nonconvexity is
addressed by a suitable hybrid algorithm, based on differential evolution. This
technique is demonstrated in the present paper with numerical examples.},
