IUTAM Symposium on Mechanical Properties of Cellular Materials: Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Mechanical Properties of Cellular Materials, held September 17-20, 2007, LMT-Cachan, Cachan, France

This volume contains twenty-two contributions written by distinguished invited speakers from all part of the world to the iutam symposium on mechanical properties of cellular materials. It provides a survey on recent advances in the characterisation and modeling of the mechanical properties of solid cellular materials under static and dynamic loading as well as their applications in lightweight structures analysis and design. This volume will be of interest to structural, mechanical and material scientists and engineers working on different aspects of this new class of materials (for example in microstructure observation, micromechanical and multiscale modeling, phenomenological models, structural impact behaviour and numerical validation).
