Auxetic Materials and Structures (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 2015)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 2015, 27 September 2016

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