This is a compendium of reviewed articles presented at the 11th EUROMECH-MECAMAT conference entitled, "Mechancis of microstructured solids: cellular materials, fibre reinforced solids and soft tissues." It provides all the latest information in the field.

This special volume of the series Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics is a compendium of reviewed articles presented at the 11th EUROMECH-MECAMAT conference entitled "Mechanics of microstructured solids: cellular materials, fibre reinforced solids and soft tissues", which took place in Torino (Italy) in March 10-14, 2008, at the Museo Regional delle Scienze. This EUROMECH-MECAMAT conference was jointly organized by the Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Torino, Italy and the INPL Institute (LEMTA, Nancy-Université, France). The conference covered most of the mechanical and material aspects, grouped in the following four sessions Fibre reinforced materials, Soft biological tissues, Generalized continua: models and materials, and Non-linear wave propagation.
