Successful materials science title, now available in paperback.
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)
