The literature in the field of higher-order homogenization is mainly focused on 2-D models
aimed at composite materials, while it lacks a comprehensive model targeting 3-D lattice …

Lattice metamaterials are widely used in weight-critical applications and gain more design
freedoms with the development of additive manufacturing technology, which requires new …

A novel energy absorbing material is proposed for the design of shock absorbers and
vibrational dampers. A layered architectured microstructure is put forward consisting of the …

Block-lattice materials featuring periodic planar running-bond tessellation of regular rigid
blocks and linear elastic homogeneous isotropic interfaces are considered. The governing …

The mechanical properties of strut-based lattice structures are greatly influenced by cell
topology, which can be modified by changing connections between nodes within a single …

This article presents a multifield asymptotic homogenization scheme for the analysis of
Bloch wave propagation in non-standard thermoelastic periodic materials, leveraging on the …

In this framework, we formulate a procedure to reconstruct the structure of general random
3D braid heterogeneous media based on transformation of Gaussian random fields, where …

This article focuses on characterizing a class of quasi-periodic metamaterials created
through the repeated arrangement of an elementary cell in a fixed direction. The elementary …

The present research focuses on a continuum description of stratified metamaterials
achieved through the superposition of layers with alternating chirality. Each layer is …

The symplectic approach was utilized to derive solutions to the orthotropic micropolar plane
stress problem. The Hamiltonian canonical equation was first obtained by applying …
