Abstract

Periodic metamaterials can be realized in the form of lattices of beams deformable both axially and flexurally. These architected materials can exhibit uncommon mechanical properties for both static and dynamic applications, such as auxetic behaviour and elastic wave manipulation and control. The course aims to provide the fundamentals of the mechanics of periodic metamaterials. The student will learn (i) the most effective methods to analyze their static and dynamic behaviors; and (ii) the static and dynamic homogenization techniques to describe their macroscopic behavior.

Course Format

The Course is taught in 🇬🇧️ ENGLISH and offered

  • On-site
  • On-line (synchronous and asynchronous) with video recordings, hand-outs, etc. of the lectures available off-line
