A review on models for pantographic fabrics, a new promising kind of metamaterials, is
presented. We treat those models that are able to capture the peculiar effects conferred by …

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 …

In order to design the microstructure of metamaterials showing high toughness in extension
(property to be shared with muscles), it has been recently proposed (Dell'Isola et al. in Z …

A two-dimensional solid consisting of a linear elastic isotropic material is considered in this
paper. The strain energy is expressed as a function of the strain and of the gradient of strain …

In this paper, a finite-element implementation of linear second-strain gradient elasticity is
introduced based on a Hellinger-Reissner variational principle in order to use standard finite …

Pantographic sheets are metamaterials showing some interesting mechanical features. The
mechanical behavior of planar pantographic sheets has been studied by means of second …

In the present work, we obtain a dispersion relation for Rayleigh–Lamb wave propagation in
a plate of thermoelastic material. For this aim, we consider the theory of generalized …

We present numerical simulations of rectangular woven fabrics made of two, initially
orthogonal, families of inextensible fibres. We consider an energy functional which includes …

In this paper, we determine numerically a large class of equilibrium configurations of an
elastic two-dimensional continuous pantographic sheet in three-dimensional deformation …
