On the continuum properties of repetitive beam-like pin-jointed structures
The equivalent continuum beam properties of a one-dimensional repetitive structure have previously been determined through eigenanalysis of the transfer matrix of a single cell. A simpler procedure requires a knowledge of the stiffness matrix of the single cell, together with the ability to deduce the displacement vectors for tension, bending and shear. A once and for all application of the principle of minimum potential energy for tension yields the equivalent continuum Poisson's ratio, from which the remaining properties follow.

Abstract

The equivalent continuum beam properties of a one-dimensional repetitive structure have previously been determined through eigenanalysis of the transfer matrix of a single cell. A simpler procedure requires a knowledge of the stiffness matrix of the single cell, together with the ability to deduce the displacement vectors for tension, bending and shear. A once and for all application of the principle of minimum potential energy for tension yields the equivalent continuum Poisson's ratio, from which the remaining properties follow.
