TLDR
In this paper, the effective properties of a linear elastic medium reinforced periodically with thin parallel fibers made up of a much stronger elastic medium were studied and it was shown that the effective material is a second gradient material, i.e., a material whose energy depends on the second gradient of the displacement.Abstract:
Homogenization may change fundamentally the constitutive laws of materials. We show how a heterogeneous Cauchy continuum may lead to a non Cauchy continuum. We study the effective properties of a linear elastic medium reinforced periodically with thin parallel fibers made up of a much stronger linear elastic medium and we prove that, when the Lame coefficients in the fibers and the radius of the fibers have appropriate order of magnitude, the effective material is a second gradient material, i.e. a material whose energy depends on the second gradient of the displacement.read more

TL;DR: P pantographic metamaterials undergo very large deformations while remaining in the elastic regime, are very tough in resisting to damage phenomena, and exhibit robust macroscopic mechanical behavior with respect to minor changes in their microstructure and micromechanical properties.

How contact interactions may depend on the shape of Cauchy cuts in Nth gradient continua: approach “à la D’Alembert”
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown how to generalize Cauchy representation formulas for contact interactions to the case of Nth gradient continua, that is, continua in which the deformation energy depends on the Green-Saint-Venant tensor and all its N − 1 order gradients.

Homogenization and two-scale convergence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define a notion of "two-scale" convergence, which is aimed at a better description of sequences of oscillating functions, and prove that bounded sequences in $L^2 (Omega )$ are relatively compact with respect to this new type of convergence.

A general convergence result for a functional related to the theory of homogenization
TL;DR: In this paper, the convergence of the functional π (x,y) with support in a fixed compact set is studied and a convergence theorem is proved under the weaker assumption that π(x, y) remains in a bounded subset of the set, and the use of multiple scale expansions in homogenization is justified.
