Topics of the Conference
Building on the previous series of Auxetics Workshops and the 1st International Conference in Exeter (2006), the 2nd International Conference on Auxetics and Related Systems will discuss the following topics:
- properties and mechanics of negative materials
- experimental studies on negative Poisson's ratio, negative thermal expansion (NTE), negative stiffness, negative mass
- multifunctional and nanostructured materials with negative properties
- composites and structures exhibiting hierarchical and extreme matter properties
- wave propagation, phononic and photonics of negative materials
- Theoretical and numerical simulations in auxetics
The program will include keynote speakers, oral presentations and a networking poster session. The Conference will also host the 5th Auxenet Young Researchers Forum. The scope of this Forum, first held in Bolton in 2004, is to provide young researchers in the area of auxetics the opportunity to present their work and interact with relevant people of the sector.
