Limit analysis of strut nets
Ada Amendola, Antonio Fortunato, Fernando Fraternali +3
Truss structures composed of members that work exclusively in tension or in compression appear in several problems of science and engineering, e.g., in the study of the resisting m…
Effect of prestress on phononic band gaps induced by inertial amplification
M. Miniaci, M. Mazzotti, A. Amendola +1
We report about the effect of an applied external mechanical load on a periodic structure exhibiting band gaps induced by inertial amplification mechanism. If compared to the cases…
Free and forced vibrations of damped locally-resonant sandwich beams
Andrea Francesco Russillo, Giuseppe Failla, Fernando Fraternali
This paper addresses the dynamics of locally-resonant sandwich beams, where multi-degree-of-freedom viscously-damped resonators are periodically distributed within the core matrix.…
Innovative seismic isolation devices based on lattice materials: A review
F. Fraternali, A. Amendola, G. Benzoni
This paper reviews recent literature results on the mechanics of structures formed by layers of pentamode lattices alternating with stiffening plates, which can be effectively empl…
Mechanical modeling of innovative metamaterials alternating pentamode lattices and confinement plates
F. Fraternali, A. Amendola
This study examines the mechanical behavior of a novel class of mechanical metamaterials alternating pentamode lattices and stiffening plates. The unit cell of such lattices consis…
Bending dominated response of layered mechanical metamaterials alternating pentamode lattices and confinement plates
A. Amendola, G. Carpentieri, L. Feo +1
A numerical study on the elastic response of single- and multi-layer systems formed by alternating pentamode lattices and stiffening plates is presented. Finite element simulations…
