We determine the effective behavior of periodic structures made of welded elastic bars. Taking into account the fact that flexural and torsional stiffnesses are much smaller than the extensional one we overpass classical homogenization formula and obtain totally different types of effective energies. We work in the framework of linear elasticity. We give different examples of two dimensional or three dimensional micro-structures which lead to generalized 1D, 2D or 3D continua like Timoshenko beam, Mindlin-Reissner plate, strain gradient, Cosserat, or micromorphic continua.

The paper summarizes and discusses the main theses exposed in a previous book (L' America dimenticata, Mondadori Universita, 2013 [in Italian]) in light of more recent results. Specifically, the work addresses the problem of explaining the origin of the systematic error on longitudes in Ptolemy's Geographia and its logical relation with the reduced estimate for the dimension of the Earth there given. The thesis is sustained that, conversely to a frequently advanced conjecture, the shrinking of the dimension of the Earth is a consequence of the scale error on the longitudes, which, in turn, was originated by a misidentification of the Islands of the Blessed. The location of the Islands of the Blessed according the source of Ptolemy is identified in the Caribbean. The analysis of a passage by Pliny provides an independent and quantitative confirmation of the proposed identification, which sheds new light on possible contact among civilizations.
本文总结并讨论了前一本书(L' America dimenticata, Mondadori Universita, 2013[意大利语])中暴露的主要论文,并结合了最近的研究结果。具体地说,这项工作解决了解释托勒密的《地理学》中经度系统误差的起源问题,以及它与那里给出的地球尺寸缩减估计的逻辑关系。与经常提出的猜想相反,这个论点得到了支持,即地球尺寸的缩小是经度刻度误差的结果,而经度刻度误差又源于对受祝福岛屿的错误识别。根据托勒密的来源,受祝福的岛屿的位置被确定在加勒比海。对普林尼的一篇文章的分析为提出的鉴定提供了独立和定量的证实,这为文明之间可能的接触提供了新的线索。
