Multilayer pantographic metamaterials, in short, pantographic blocks, have shown peculiar
mechanical behavior, especially when their constitutive hinges are revolving (ie, perfect) …

In this paper we model the size-effects of metamaterial beams under bending with the aid of
the relaxed micromorphic continuum. We analyze first the size-dependent bending stiffness …

Infill density used in additive manufacturing incorporates a structural response change in the
structure. Infill pattern creates a microstructure that affects the mechanical performance as …

In this paper, an improved re-entrant metamaterial based on 3D printing was proposed,
which exhibits enhanced stiffness and vibration suppression ability compared to the original …

A fundamental understanding of the interaction between microstructure and underlying
physical mechanisms is essential, especially for developing more accurate multi-physics …

The current contribution investigates the strain-gradient thermomechanical performance of
architected materials and structures with uniform and graded inner designs. To that scope …

Even though the development of novel materials that mimic nature is widely used in a variety
of engineering and scientific fields, the relationship between effective material properties …

The main aim of the work was the experimental and numerical analysis of the energy
absorption/dissipation capabilities and failure mechanisms of novel hyper-elastic target …

Classical homogenization approaches applied to heterogeneous materials are suitable for
the cases where a scale-separation is eminent. As the length-scale at the effective …

Metamaterial composites are a rapidly developing field of engineered materials. These
materials are typically created by incorporating periodic inclusions, such as coated spheres …
