    Abstract

    We construct a two-field higher-order gradient micropolar model for Cosserat media on the basis of a square lattice of elements with rotational degrees of freedom. This model includes equations of single-field higher-order gradient micropolar theory, and additional ones, which allow modelling of short wavelength phenomena. We demonstrate an example of short wavelength spatially localized static deformations in a structural system, which could not be obtained in the classical single-field framework, but which are captured by the proposed two-field model.
