In this new edition of their classic work on Cellular Solids, the authors have brought the book completely up to date, including new work on processing of metallic and ceramic foams and on the mechanical, electrical and acoustic properties of cellular solids. Data for commercially available foams are presented on material property charts; two new case studies show how the charts are used for selection of foams in engineering design. Over 150 references appearing in the literature since the publication of the first edition are cited. The text summarises current understanding of the structure and mechanical behaviour of cellular materials, and the ways in which they can be exploited in engineering design. Cellular solids include engineering honeycombs and foams (which can now be made from polymers, metals, ceramics and composites) as well as natural materials, such as wood, cork and cancellous bone.

Cellular ceramics are a specific class of porous materials which includes among others foams, honeycombs, connected fibers, robocast structures and assembled hollow spheres. Because of their particular structure, cellular ceramics display a wide variety of specific properties which make them indispensable for various engineering applications. An increasing number of patents, scientific literature and international conferences devoted to cellular materials testifies to a rapidly growing interest of the technical community in this topic. New applications for cellular ceramics are constantly being put under development. The book, authored by leading experts in this emerging field, gives an overview of the main aspects related to the processing of diverse cellular ceramic structures, methods of structural and properties characterisation and well established industrial, novel and potential applications. It is an introduction to newcomers in this research area and allows students to obtain an in-depth knowledge of basic and practical aspects of this fascinating class of advanced materials.

In this book, the author analyzes plant form and how it has evolved in response to basic physical laws. He examines the ways these laws limit the organic expression of form, size, and growth in a variety of plant structures and in plants as whole organisms, drawing on both the fossil record and studies of extant species.

Functionally Graded Porous Structures: Applied Methods in Mechanical Performance Evaluation, Machine Learning Aided Analysis, and Additive Manufacturing presents a state-of-the-art review of the latest advances and cutting-edge technologies in this important research field. The book is divided into three key sections. The first section begins with an introduction to functionally graded porous structures and details the effects of graded porosities on bending, buckling, and vibration behaviours within the framework of Timoshenko beam theory, and first-order shear deformable plate theory. The second section is focused on the usage of machine learning techniques for smart structural analysis of porous components as an evolution from traditional engineering, methods. The third section focuses on additive manufacturing of structures with graded porosities for end-user applications. The book follows a clear path from design and analysis to fabrication and applications. Readers will find extensive knowledge and examples of functionally graded porous structures that are suitable for innovative research and market needs, with applications relevant to a diverse range of industrial fields, including mechanical, structural, aerospace, energy, and biomedical engineering. Provides a comprehensive picture of novel porous materials and advanced lightweight structural technologies that are applicable to a diverse range of industrial sectors Updated with the most recent advances in the field of porous structures Goes beyond traditional structural aspects and covers novel evaluation strategies, machine learning aided analysis, and additive manufacturing Covers weight management strategies for structural components to achieve multifunctional purposes Addresses key issues in the design of lightweight structures, offering significant environmental benefits
