Emerging Materials and Technologies Mechanics of Auxetic Materials and Structures, (Hardcover)

Mechanics of Auxetic Materials and Structures offers a wide range of application-based and practical considerations of smart materials and auxetic materials in engineering structures. Exploring the analytical and numerical solution procedures, the book discusses crucial characteristics of metamaterials and their response to external factors.

Covering the effect of different parameters and external factors on the mechanics of auxetic materials and structures, the book considers the benefits leading to better fracture resistance, toughness, shear modulus, and acoustic response.

The book serves as a reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials science and taking courses in smart materials, metamaterials, and mechanics of materials.
