This course explores advanced homogenization techniques for complex materials, with a specific emphasis on
mechanical metamaterials. These materials, defined by their intricate microstructures, exhibit unconventional
mechanical properties such as auxetic behavior, extreme stiffness, tunable elasticity, focusing and filtering elastic
waves, among others. The course will cover most successful homogenization approaches, enabling the calculation of
macroscopic properties from the microstructure, and their applications in the analysis and design of metamaterials.
Through theoretical foundations and practical case studies, PhD students will gain some insights into cutting-edge
methods for modeling and optimizing the mechanical behavior of these innovative materials.

Il corso si terrà in modalità mista: in presenza presso l'Aula Seminari del DISG Facoltà di Architettura, Via Antonio Gramsci 53, Roma, e online tramite l'applicazione Zoom.
Per i corsi erogati dal Dottorato del DISG non è prevista l'assegnazione di crediti formativi ai partecipati esterni ma solo l'attestazione delle ore di corso seguite esclusivamente in presenza (previa verifica della effettiva presenza). Non si rilasciano attestati per frequenza da remoto.
