Abstract
Solid mechanics can be addressed by a Lattice Spring Model whose major ingredients are briefly described. It is applied to solve the dynamic equations of motions and the static equations derived by homogenization. Results relative to the macroscopic properties of solids are successfully compared to the ones obtained by analytical methods and by other techniques of numerical calculations. Wave velocities derived by direct simulations are in good agreement with the ones derived by homogenization.
