Auxetic Materials And Structures eBook

This book lays down the foundation on the mechanics and design of auxetic solids and structures, solids that possess negative Poissons 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 unique mechanical and other physical properties of structures using auxetic materials.
