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

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

A nonlinear elastic model for nets made up of two families of curved fibers is proposed. The
net is planar prior to the deformation, but the equilibrium configuration that minimizes the …

In this paper, we aim to explore the mechanical potentialities of a material made of an
orthogonal net of fibers arranged in logarithmic spirals. Therefore, an annular plate …

Abstract Isogeometric Kirchhoff–Love elements have received an increasing attention in
geometrically nonlinear analysis of elastic shells. Nevertheless, some difficulties still remain …

Dynamics of pantographic sheets presents exotic aspects that deserve investigation. In this
paper, we focus the attention on some possible modalities of non-linear wave propagation in …

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 …

Abstract Isogeometric Kirchhoff–Love elements have been receiving increasing attention in
geometrically nonlinear analysis of thin shells because they make it possible to meet the C 1 …

Mechanical properties are investigated for a class of microstructured materials with
promising applications. Specifically, we consider a composite material with orthogonal …

Mechanical metamaterials are microstructured mechanical systems showing an overall
macroscopic behaviour that depends mainly on their microgeometry and microconstitutive …
