Abstract
Two major levels of complexity are discussed in a way of understanding the structure and processes that define an auxetic system. The auxeticity and structural complexity is interpreted in the light of Cosserat elasticity which admits degrees of freedom not present in classical elasticity, i.e. the rotation of points in the material, and a couple per unit area or the couple stress. The Young modulus evaluation for a laminated periodic system made up of alternating aluminum and an auxetic material is an example of computing complexity.
