A design framework is here presented for the development of an architected solid with
targeted mechanical properties thanks to an optimized porosity distribution. A 2D lattice of …

Elastic networks model that is used to model a class of two-dimensional cellular structures
including re-entrant and regular honeycombs is considered. Two mechanical parameters …

For fibrous materials such as nonwoven fabrics, paper and paperboards, inter-fiber bonds
play a critical role by holding fibers, thus providing internal cohesion. Being a physical …

The diffusion of design tools suitable for regular lattice structures was recently stimulated by
the spread of additive manufacturing technologies that enable the fabrication of complex …

The standard Timoshenko beam model assumes that cross sections of beam move as rigid
bodies in deformation which is a well-known source for modelling error. In refined beam …

This work deals with the micromechanical study of periodic thermo-diffusive elastic multi-
layered materials, which are of interest for the fabrication of solid oxide fuel cells. The focus …

Numerous studies proposed the possible use of auxetic periodic structures in engineering
applications. The regular cellular structures with several nodes in a unit cell of the lattice are …

Poisson's ratio is one of the key parameters of material properties, and it could directly
decide deformation and distribution of stress in materials and structures. In this paper, effects …

A generalized strain energy-based homogenization method for 2-D and 3-D cellular
materials with and without periodicity constraints is proposed using Hill's Lemma and the …

In this paper, the analytical solution of the multi-step homogenization problem for multi-rank
composites with generalized periodicity made of elastic materials is presented. The …
