H. Tollenaere et D. Caillerie, CONTINUOUS MODELING OF LATTICE STRUCTURES BY HOMOGENIZATION, Advances in engineering software, 29(7-9), 1998, pp. 699-705
We present a method of continuous modeling of quasi-repetitive lattice
structures called discrete homogenization and derived from the period
ic continuous medium homogenization. The structure studied here is a t
wo-dimensional quasi-periodic lattice truss with pin-jointed nodes in
the case of static deformation. A one-dimensional simple illustrative
example is given. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Limited and Civil-Comp Lim
