Cellular Solids: Structure and Properties
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. This new edition of a classic work details current understanding of the structure and mechanical behavior of cellular materials, and the ways in which they can be exploited in engineering design. Gibson and Ashby have brought the book completely up to date, including new work on processing of...

Successful materials science title, now available in paperback. Booknews A broad survey of foamed and porous solids and the ways in which they can be exploited in engineering design. By unifying the modelling of many different types of cellular solid, similarities in behavior in these diverse materials are explained. Case studies provide worked examples of foam behavior and selection for engineering applications. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
