This paper deals with a review of recent results on the design and employment of layered structures formed by pentamode lattices and confinement plates as novel seismic isolators. The examined structures are equipped with different unit cells and show both hinged and rigid connections. The review of analytic and numerical results concerned with the mechanical properties of such structures leads to draw conclusions on the high potential of pentamode bearings in the field of seismic engineering.

Abstract
This paper deals with a review of recent results on the design and employment of layered structures formed by pentamode lattices and confinement plates as novel seismic isolators. The examined structures are equipped with different unit cells and show both hinged and rigid connections. The review of analytic and numerical results concerned with the mechanical properties of such structures leads to draw conclusions on the high potential of pentamode bearings in the field of seismic engineering.File in questo prodotto:
