Effects of Shear Deformation of Struts in Hexagonal Lattices on their Effective In-Plane Material Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two-dimensional lattices are widely used in many engineering applications. If 2D lattices have large numbers of unit cells, they can be accurately modeled as 2D homogeneous solids having effective material properties. When the slenderness ratios of struts in these 2D lattices are low, the effects of shear deformation on the values of the effective material properties can be significant. This study aims to investigate the effects of shear deformation on the effective material properties of 2D lattices with hexagonal unit cells, by using the homogenization method based on equivalent strain energy. Several topologies of hexagonal unit cells and several slenderness ratios of struts are considered. The effects of struts’ shear deformation on the effective material properties are examined by comparing the results of the present study, in which shear deformation is neglected, with those from the literature, in which shear deformation is included.
