Elastic stiffness parameters are determined in a 2D model system of rigid rods interacting by harmonic force constants. Any positive ("normal" crystal) or negative (auxetic crystal) Poisson ratio can be obtained in this model as a function of the external stress. Conditions for opening an absolute stop band (phononic crystal) and for various kinds of surface waves are obtained.
