TLDRThis section explores relaxed micromorphic modeling for finite-size metamaterials, detailing tetragonal symmetry, elastic tensors in Voigt notation, and boundary conditions. It contrasts the classical Cauchy model with micromorphic approaches for improved metamaterial elasticity analysis.via the TL;DR App
