Metamaterials exhibit properties beyond those exhibited by conventional materials in
conventional scenarios. These have been investigated both theoretically and experimentally …

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

In the past few decades, numerous heat conduction models extending beyond Fourier's
have been developed to account for large gradients, fast phenomena, wave propagation …

This work studies tensegrity bracing systems to be used as energy dissipation devices in
next generation, earthquake-proof timber buildings. The examined lightweight and high …

The work investigates the vibration behaviour of anisogrid composite lattice shell structures,
typically formed by a system of geodesic unidirectional composite ribs. A homogenization …

Fiber-reinforced composites are materials that display a great potentiality in many
applications for their multifaceted features. The employment of curved fibers contributes to …

Strain gradient theory is an accurate model for capturing the size effect and localization
phenomena. However, the challenge in identification of corresponding constitutive …

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 …

Plate lattices are an emerging class of lightweight mechanical metamaterials that exhibit
superior mechanical properties. The unique architectures of plate lattice metamaterials are …
