Structural Properties of Stiff Elastic Networks
Gérald Gurtner, Marc Durand
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 det…

Stiffest Elastic Networks
Gérald Gurtner, Marc Durand
The rigidity of a network of elastic beams crucially depends on the specific details of its structure. We show both numerically and theoretically that there is a class of isotropic…
