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...
