刚性弹性网络的结构特性

Structural Properties of Stiff Elastic Networks

Gérald Gurtner, Marc Durand

摘要:

弹性梁的网络可以通过拉伸或弯曲其构件而变形。变形的主要模式(弯曲或拉伸)主要取决于网络结构的具体细节。为了阐明微观几何和宏观力学之间的关系,我们描述了网络的结构特征,这些网络仅通过梁的拉伸均匀变形。我们提供了一套方便的几何标准来识别这样的网络,并推导出其有效弹性模量的值。这些准则的分析阐明了弹性网络力学响应的变异性。特别是,我们的研究合理化的细胞和纤维网络的力学行为的差异。

英文摘要:

Networks of elastic beams can deform either by stretching or bending of their members. The primary mode of deformation (bending or stretching) crucially depends on the specific details of the network architecture. In order to shed light on the relationship between microscopic geometry and macroscopic mechanics, we characterize the structural features of networks which deform uniformly, through the stretching of the beams only. We provide a convenient set of geometrical criteria to identify such networks, and derive the values of their effective elastic moduli. The analysis of these criteria elucidates the variability of mechanical response of elastic networks. In particular, our study rationalizes the difference in mechanical behavior of cellular and fiber networks.
