Sommario/riassunto

In Endurable Infinity, Tony Kitt creates his own tangential surrealism through wonder, intuition, and surprising connections. If the original surrealists of the 1930s sought to unleash the unconscious mind by bringing elements of dreams to the waking world with jarring juxtapositions, Kitt's poetry is more about transmutation, or leaps, from word to word and phrase to phrase. He takes American poet Charles Borkhuis's statement that contemporary surrealist poets write "from inside language" as a challenge and a call to action.

Sommario/riassunto

This book describes the fundamentals of the mechanics and design of auxetic solids and structures, which possess a negative Poisson’s ratio. It will benefit two groups of readers: (a) industry practitioners, such as product and structural designers, who need to control mechanical stress distributions using auxetic materials, and (b) academic researchers and students who intend to produce structures with unique mechanical and other physical properties using auxetic



materials.
