This book addresses theoretical and experimental methods for exploring microstructured metamaterials, with a special focus on wave dynamics, mechanics, and related physical properties. The authors use various mathematical and physical approaches to examine the mechanical properties inherent to particular types of metamaterials. These include: 

Boundary value problems in reduced strain gradient elasticity for composite fiber-reinforced metamaterials 

Self-organization of molecules in ferroelectric thin films 

Combined models for surface layers of nanostructures 

Computer simulation at the micro- and nanoscale 

Surface effects with anisotropic properties and imperfect temperature contacts 

Inhomogeneous anisotropic metamaterials with uncoupled and coupled surfaces or interfaces 

Special interface finite elements and other numerical and analytical methods for composite structures
