<br/><br/>Introduction -- Micromechanical Models for Auxetic Materials -- Elasticity of Auxetic Solids -- Stress Concentration, Fracture and Damage in Auxetic Materials -- Contact and Indentation Mechanics of Auxetic Materials -- Auxetic Beams -- Auxetic Solids in Polar and Spherical Coordinates -- Thin Auxetic Plates and Shells -- Thermal Stresses in Auxetic Solids -- Elastic Stability of Auxetic Solids -- Vibration of Auxetic Solids -- Wave Propagation in Auxetic Solids -- Wave Transmission and Reflection involving Auxetic Solids -- Longitudinal Waves in Auxetic Solids -- Shear Deformation in Auxetic Solids -- Simple Semi-auxetic Solids -- Semi-auxetic Laminates and Auxetic Composites. 
<br/><br/> This book describes the fundamentals of the mechanics and design of auxetic solids and structures, which possess a 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 structures with unique mechanical and other physical properties using auxetic materials.
