This fascinating book is a treatise on real space-age materials. It is a mathematical treatment of a novel concept in material science that characterizes the properties of dynamic materials-that is, material substances whose properties are variable in space and time. Unlike conventional composites that are often found in nature, dynamic materials are mostly the products of modern technology developed to maintain the most effective control over dynamic processes.

This book is the first monograph presenting an explicit account of a new material concept: it introduces and explores formations with parameters variable in both space and time and therefore called dynamic materials (DM). Being thermodynamically open systems, DM may be adjusted to a dynamic environment due to unusual effects produced by their mass/momentum/energy exchange with the environment. A number of such effects forms a basis for technical devices that support energy accumulation and its storage in traveling waves, effective sensing, isolation of extended domains in space-time from the invasion of dynamic disturbances, etc. The DM concept is at the same time theoretically significant as the means of material optimization and design in dynamics based on the ideas conceptually different from those traditionally applicable in statics, such as homogenization. All in all, the book by Lurie represents a fundamental work that will become a source of novel conceptual ideas and engineering applications. (Iliya I. Blekhman, Materials Physics and Mechanics 11 (2011), pp. 190-193)
This book gives a mathematical treatment of a novel concept in material science that characterizes the properties of dynamic materials―that is, material substances whose properties are variable in space and time. Unlike conventional composites that are often found in nature, dynamic materials are mostly the products of modern technology developed to maintain the most effective control over dynamic processes. These materials have diverse applications: tunable left-handed dielectrics, optical pumping with high-energy pulse compression, and electromagnetic stealth technology, to name a few. Of special significance is the participation of dynamic materials in almost every optimal material design in dynamics.
The book discusses some general features of dynamic materials as thermodynamically open systems; it gives their adequate tensor description in the context of Maxwell’s theory of moving dielectrics and makes a special emphasis on the theoretical analysis of spatio-temporal material composites (such as laminates and checkerboard structures). Some unusual applications are listed along with the discussion of some typical optimization problems in space-time via dynamic materials.
Audience
This book is intended for applied mathematicians interested in optimal problems of material design for systems governed by hyperbolic differential equations. It will also be useful for researchers in the field of smart metamaterials and their applications to optimal material design in dynamics.
