Among various strategies developed for the attenuation of noise and vibration in mechanical
structures, piezoelectric shunt damping, which consists in connecting piezoelectric …

In Mechanics, material properties are most often regarded as being given, and based on
this, many technical solutions are usually conceived and constructed. However, nowadays …

The aim of this paper is to find a computationally efficient and predictive model for the class
of systems that we call 'pantographic structures'. The interest in these materials was …

Hencky (Über die angenäherte Lösung von Stabilitätsproblemen im Raum mittels der
elastischen Gelenkkette. Ph. D. thesis, Engelmann, 1921) proposed a discrete model for …

The well-posedness of the boundary value problems for second gradient elasticity has been
studied under the assumption of strong ellipticity of the dependence on the second …

In this paper, we study a metamaterial constructed with an isotropic material organized
following a geometric structure which we call pantographic lattice. This relatively complex …

In this paper, the phenomena of resorption and growth of bone tissue and resorption of the
biomaterial inside a bicomponent system are studied by means of a numerical method …

In this paper, we review classical and recent results on the Lagrangian description of
dissipative systems. After having recalled Rayleigh extension of Lagrangian formalism to …

Recent advanced manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing have prompted the need
for designing new multiscale architectured materials for various industrial applications …

Recently it has been proposed the study of a new class of bidimensional metamaterials,
which have been called extensible pantographic sheets. Such bidimensional continua are …
