Generalized continuum mechanics and engineering applications

The new concept of metamaterial is increasingly attracting the interest of physicists and mechanical engineers. Such materials are obtained by suitably assembling multiple individual elements but usually arranged in (quasi- )periodic substructures in order to show exotic global mechanical properties...
