Lim T-C. Auxetic Materials and Structures

Springer Singapore Heidelberg New York Dordrecht London, 2015. XV, 587 p. 375 illus., 60 illus. in color. — ISBN: 978-981-287-274-6, ISBN: 978-981-287-275-3 (eBook) — (Engineering Materials).The first auxetics monograph that is authored by a single author
Deals with the mechanics and structural design of materials with a negative Poisson’s ratio
From simple examples, complex case studies are built up in a pedagogical way
Consists of case studies with direct applicability to the industry and developed mathematical models
This book describes the fundamentals of the mechanics and design of auxetic solids and structures, which possess a negative Poisson’s ratio. It will benefit two groups of readers: (a) industry practitioners, such as product and structural designers, who need to control mechanical stress distributions using auxetic materials, and (b) academic researchers and students who intend to produce structures with unique mechanical and other physical properties using auxetic materials.Content Level » Research
