Preface
The objective of this book is to introduce to the reader the advancement of auxetic materials and their potential applications on the basis of their unique mechanical behavior. Most materials possess positive Poisson’s ratio, i.e., these materials get thinner when stretched and fatter when compressed. Auxetic materials possess negative Poisson’s ratio, i.e., they get fatter when stretched and thinner when compressed. The motivation that led to the writing of this book is the lack of exposure among scientists and engineers on such materials. This book begins with a historical development on the thoughts and early progress in the area of negative Poisson’s ratio materials, followed by Chap. 2 on the various micromechanical models that have been explored to explain and predict the behavior of auxetic materials. The elasticity of auxetic solids is covered in Chap. 3, while Chap. 4 deals with the stress concentration, fracture, damage, and fatigue of auxetic solids. This is followed by Chap. 5 on the contact mechanics and indentation resilience of auxetic solids. Chapters 6–8 cover auxetic beams, cylinders, disks, spheres, plates, and shells, while Chap. 9 considers the
