Summary

The scope of this volume is limited to metamaterials based on microstructural phenomena involving purely mechanical interactions. In general the exotic behavior of metamaterials is obtained by using multiscale architectured internal structures: it is assumed here that at the lowest considered scale a mechanical description is sufficient. The literature in the field being enormous, only a targeted selection of mechanical metamaterials has been considered, aiming to give an analysis of the literature relevant to the specific application developed in Chapter 3.
