“…As a result, the micropolar model found various applications in the modelling of media with complex inner microstructures and rotational interactions of material particles, such as granular media [9–12], masonry [13–16], foams and other porous media [17–19], bones [20–22], beam lattices [23, 24], composites and inhomogeneous materials [25–27] and non-linear models [28]. It is also worth noting the straightforward measurements of micropolar moduli provided by Lakes [17], Roger and Lakes [18, 19, 29, 30] and Rueger et al [31].…”
