Describing the structure and mechanics of a wide range of natural materials with a honeycomb- or foam-like structure (e.g. wood, cork, trabecular bone and coral), this book shows how models for cellular materials can be applied in medicine, such as metal foams in orthopedics and porous scaffolds for tissue engineering.
