Scope of the workshop
The following topics essential to the physics of auxetics and related
materials and models are within the scope of the Workshop:
- properties and applications of auxetic materials,
- mechanisms leading to auxetic behaviour,
- experimental studies of auxetic materials,
- multifunctional systems incorporating auxetic behaviour,
- systems of special properties (e.g. systems with inclusions of negative
stiffness, composites of hierarchical structures, systems of extreme
hardness, layers and films of unusual properties etc.),
- theoretical and computer simulation methods for modelling auxetics and other systems of special mechanical properties.
