In this paper, we give a review of the state of the art in the study of mechanical
metamaterials. The very attractive property of having a microstructure capable of …

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 …

In the last decade, the exotic properties of pantographic metamaterials have been
investigated and different mathematical models (both discrete or continuous) have been …

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

Pantographic fabrics are presented as a paradigmatic example to discuss the research
perspective on multiphysics and multiscale materials. Reduced-order modeling, obtained by …

Mechanical behavior of materials with granular microstructures is confounded by unique
features of their grain-scale mechano-morphology, such as the tension–compression …

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 present a model in which the motions of two families of beams constituting a
pantographic sheet, when described with two independent placement fields, allows to …

By using modern additive manufacturing techniques, a structure at the millimeter length
scale (macroscale) can be produced showing a lattice substructure of micrometer …

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 …
