Multilayer pantographic metamaterials, in short, pantographic blocks, have shown peculiar
mechanical behavior, especially when their constitutive hinges are revolving (ie, perfect) …

Scissor-type deployable structures, characterized by superior flexibility, high expansion
ratio, and ease of control, have been extensively studied across architecture and …

A continuum theory of pantographic lattices, based on second-grade elasticity, is presented.
The proposed model is able to describe the mechanical behavior of a type of material …

We present a new invariant numerical formulation suitable for the analysis of Kirchhoff–Love
rod model based on the smallest rotation map for which the two kinematic descriptors are …

This article is the second part of a previous article devoted to the deterministic aspects. Here,
we present a comprehensive study on the development and application of a novel stochastic …

This study presents an approach to enhancing and expanding the structural performance of
composite materials by tailoring their geometry. We explored the potential of continuous …

A variational model has been developed to investigate the coupled thermo-mechanical
response of a three-dimensional continuum. The linear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) …

Mechanical metamaterials consist of specially engineered features designed to tailor and
enhance the mechanical properties of their constituent materials. In this context, 2D …

In this paper, we apply a numerical integration strategy recently developed for determining
the deformation shapes of structures constituted by Cosserat rods, to predict the behavior of …

The paper analyzes the vibrational behavior of cylinders in the offset printing machine
caused by a cylinder gap shock. Specifically, it assesses the stability of a system of two …
