Symmetric-in-Plane Compression of Polyamide Pantographic Fabrics—Modelling, Experiments and Numerical Exploration
Chuong Anthony Tran, Maciej Gołaszewski, Emilio Barchiesi
Abstract
Symmetric in-plane compression of a pantographic lattice structure is modelled and simulated, and the results are compared to previously available experimental data. Said experimental results had shown a peculiar behaviour: depending on the fiber density, the deformed shape could present either one or two swellings under compression. The present article is a preliminary modelling attempt aiming at capturing that behaviour numerically.
