A review on 2D models for the description of pantographic fabrics

A review on models for pantographic fabrics, a new promising kind of metamaterials, is presented. We treat those models that are able to capture the peculiar effects conferred by their specific microstructure and that can be generalized for the description of more complex metamaterials. For each approach, model formulation and modeling assumptions are discussed along with the presentation of numerical solutions in exemplary cases and no attempt is made to model damage and failure phenomena.
