Additive Manufacturing of Architected Metamaterials provides readers with a deep understanding of the design, manufacturing, properties, and applications of these materials. Chapters cover modeling and numerical techniques, experimental approaches for investigating mechanical properties, as well as the thermal, electromagnetic, and corrosion fatigue properties of these materials. Design techniques, microstructure, and topology are each discussed as well. Materials covered include additive manufactured lattice structures, cellular lattice materials, acoustic and elastic locally resonant metamaterials, rationally designed cellular metamaterials, optical metamaterials, biological metamaterials, high strength strut-based lattices, and more, and the book concludes with a chapter focused on data-driven design and artificial intelligence for architected metamaterials.
- Provides a trove of insight on additive manufactured architected metamaterials, covering their geometric modeling, manufacturing processes, and their mechanical, acoustic, thermal, and electromagnetic properties
- Addresses the challenges posed by additive manufacture of these materials, solutions to overcoming them, the complexities of their design, and the intricate relationship between microstructure and performance
- Features case studies, experimental approaches to mechanical properties, permeability considerations for fluid and biological applications, and data-driven design using artificial intelligence

Matteo Benedetti
Matteo Benedetti is an associate professor in Machine Design at the University of Trento, where he has been since 2007. In 2004 he got his PhD in Materials Engineering from the University of Trento. In 2003-2004 he was a visiting researcher at the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg (Germany) and in 2022 at the McGill University (Canada). His research interests include (a) characterization and modelling of the mechanical behavior of materials under static and cyclic loadings, (b) manufacturing-related fatigue issues in 3D printed cellular lattice materials, (c) measurement and modelling of residual stress fields and their incorporation into fatigue design, (c) structural integrity of machine elements and structural details. He co-authored more than 100 journal papers and 120 conference articles, collecting more than 4000 citations. He gave some invited seminars and plenary lectures. He served as the chairman of the Technical Division “Residual Stresses” of the Society for Experimental Mechanics (USA). He currently serves as Associate Editor for the journals "Material Design & Processing Communication" (Wiley), "Additive Manufacturing Letters" (Elsevier), and "Forces in Mechanics" (Elsevier).

Nima Shamsaei
Nima Shamsaei is currently the Philpott-WestPoint Stevens Distinguished Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Auburn University, where he is also the founding director of the National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME), a NASA and NIST funded research center focused on advancing the additive manufacturing (AM) technology. NCAME is also one of the two U.S.-based founding partners of the ASTM International Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) with the aim to guide multi-disciplinary research and foster effective collaborations amongst industry, government, academia, and non-profit organizations for ensuring a coordinated, global effort for rapidly closing standards and workforce development gaps in advanced manufacturing. Prior to joining academia, Dr. Shamsaei spent many years in industry, including in leadership positions, specializing in fatigue analysis and durability test development. Dr. Shamsaei then took his skillset to Mississippi State University in 2013 and initiated a university level AM research track. The focus of his research was on the structural integrity of AM metallic materials, which is his continued primary area of interest at Auburn University. His research work has resulted so far in publishing over 300 peer-reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings as well as 130+ technical presentations including 60+ invited talks or keynote/plenary speeches in the areas of fatigue, fracture, mechanics of materials, and AM material/part qualification, certification, and standardization. Several government agencies and private companies sponsor many of his research projects in order to advance AM technology for faster industrial adoption. He has served as the guest editor for the International Journal of Fatigue 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th special issues on Additive Manufacturing in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022 as well as the Journal of Materials Processing Technology’s 1st and 2nd special issues on AM Process Qualification in 2021 and 2022. Dr. Shamsaei also organizes multiple AM-related symposia and conferences in ASTM, TMS, and ASME.
