During the manufacturing process, the right choice of material is imperative as this determines the behavior of the structure. Therefore, exploring and taking dull use of new materials, which possess better mechanical properties is essential. Such an example is auxetic materials, the microstructures which elongate towards the direction of applied load, instead of shrinking. As such, further research and a wider exploitation of these materials is required. This dissertation will be focused on the study and discovery of the band gap of the wave propagation in tetrachiral microstructures of auxetic materials using finite element analysis. Multiple models of this structure with different geometric and structural parameters will be created; there will be a comparison among the band gaps as well as the changes they cause.
