Mechanical architectured materials are designed to feature extreme or non-classical properties such as negative Poisson’s ratio or strain floppy modes. These emergent properties may require generalized continua such as strain-gradient or micromorphic continua in order to accurately bring-out the effective mechanical behavior.
A previous workshop dedicated to the understanding and the predictive modelling of these architectured materials had to be canceled due to COVID crisis in 2020.
The present e-workshop will be organized on 8-9 of April 2021 and will provide an update on these topics, awaiting the next regular workshop which will be hopefully held in Alghero on 23-28 May 2022.
A particular attention will be paid to non-classical up-scaling methods, new topology optimization techniques, experimental characterization of the non-classical properties and the computational techniques required by generalized continua.
Topics
Up-scaling methods for non-classical continua in mechanics
Fabrication and testing of non-classical continua
Topology optimization of Metamaterials
Computational and numerical aspects
