Continuum limits of bistable spring models of carbon nanotube arrays accounting for material damage
T. Blesgen, F. Fraternali, J. R. Raney +2
Using chains of bistable springs, a model is derived to investigate the plastic behavior of carbon nanotube arrays with damage. We study the preconditioning effect due to the loadi…
On the estimation of the curvatures and bending rigidity of membrane networks via a local maximum-entropy approach
Fernando Fraternali, Christan D. Lorenz, Gianluca Marcelli
We present a meshfree method for the curvature estimation of membrane networks based on the Local Maximum Entropy approach recently presented in (Arroyo and Ortiz, 2006). A continu…
Universal formulae for the limiting elastic energy of membrane networks
Bernd Schmidt, Fernando Fraternali
We provide universal formulae for the limiting stretching and bending energies of triangulated membrane networks endowed with nearest neighbor bond potentials and cosine-type dihed…
