We propose a comprehensive approach to characterizing the mechanical properties of
structured sheet materials, ie, planar rod networks whose mechanics and aesthetics are …

In the current work we analyze the bulk and normal to shear properties of a wide range of
two-dimensional artificial materials under small deformations. To that scope, we employ …

We present a method for designing mechanical metamaterials based on the novel concept
of Voronoi diagrams induced by star-shaped metrics. As one of its central advantages, our …

To investigate complex physical phenomena, bi-dimensional models are often an interesting
option. It allows spatial couplings to be produced while keeping them as simple as possible …

The elastic tensor of any triangular (2D) lattice material is given with respect to the geometry
and the mechanical properties of the links between the nodes. The links can bear central …

We produce minimal integrity bases for both isotropic and hemitropic invariant algebras (and
more generally covariant algebras) of most common bidimensional constitutive tensors and …

In the present paper a method to reconstruct the 2D elasticity tensor from observations is
proposed. The novelty of the method, compared to other ones, is that this approach is based …

The action of the orthogonal group O (2) O (2) on the space of plane elasticity tensors has
been the subject of some recent investigations. It is shown here that the approach based on …

On étudie la structure des tenseurs 2D symétriques d'ordre 4, c'est-à-dire: ayant aussi bien
la symétrie indicielle mineure que la symétrie majeure. La décomposition polaire de …

In this paper, we propose an alternative tensorial decomposition to the Kelvin's one
(introduced by Kelvin in 1856) for plane anisotropic elasticity using the polar formalism …
