Bücher von Lorna J. (Professor Gibson

Describing the structure and mechanics of a wide range of natural materials with a honeycomb- or foam-like structure (e.g. wood, cork, trabecular bone and coral), this book shows how models for cellular materials can be applied in medicine, such as metal foams in orthopedics and porous scaffolds for tissue engineering.

This new edition of Cellular Solids brings the book up to date, including new work on processing of metallic and ceramic foams and on the mechanical, electrical and acoustic properties of cellular solids. The text summarises current understanding of the structure and mechanical behaviour of cellular materials.
