In this review paper, some relevant models, algorithms, and approaches conceived to
describe the bone tissue mechanics and the remodeling process are showcased …

This article presents a survey of the literature about the numerical forming of continuous fibre
reinforced composite material. This review shows that in spite of some models are defined …

In this paper, we account for the research efforts that have been started, for some among us,
already since 2003, and aimed to the design of a class of exotic architectured, optimized …

The global response of experimental uniaxial tests cannot be homogeneous, because of the
unavoidable presence of localized deformations, which is always preferential from an …

We determine the effective behavior of periodic structures made of welded elastic bars.
Taking into account the fact that flexural and torsional stiffnesses are much smaller than the …

Since the first studies dedicated to the mechanics of deformable bodies (by Euler,
D'Alembert, Lagrange) the principle of virtual work (or virtual velocities) has been used to …

In this paper we consider linear pantographic sheets, which in their natural configuration are
constituted by two orthogonal arrays of straight fibers interconnected by internal pivots. We …

In this paper, we exploit some results in the theory of irreversible phenomena to address the
study of quasi-static brittle fracture propagation in a two-dimensional isotropic continuum …

A linear elastic second gradient orthotropic two-dimensional solid that is invariant under 90^
∘ 90∘ rotation and for mirror transformation is considered. Such anisotropy is the most …

Bi-pantographic fabrics are composed of two families of pantographic beams and
correspond to a class of architectured materials that are described in plane as second …
