Frequently Asked Questions (12)
Q2. What is the definition of anisotropic sobolev space?
It is observed that the energy space of linear pantographic sheets, i.e., the space of functions fulfilling boundary conditions for which the strain energy is meaningful, is included in a special class of Sobolev spaces, the so-called Anisotropic Sobolev Space.
Q3. What was the morphological operation used to construct the mesh?
Thanks to the uniform background, simple morphological operations were performed in order to construct this mesoscale mesh from a mask.
Q4. What is the coordinate system of the euclidean space?
A Cartesian coordinate system (O, (ê1, ê2)) is introduced, with X = (X1, X2) the coordinates of the generic point in the Euclidean space R2.
Q5. What is the criterion for rupture of a spring?
In particular, the criterion for rupture of a spring at iteration t , which discriminates whether that spring has to be removed from the computations at iteration t + 1 or not, is based on (constant) thresholds for the relative elongation of extensional springs, e.g., (‖pi+1, j − pi, j‖ − ) (upper and lower thresholds are employed for this deformation measure).
Q6. What is the definition of the push-forward vectors in the current configuration of the vectors?
As customary, D1 and D2 are defined as the push-forward vectors in the current configuration of the vectors D1 and D2, respectively, i.e., Dα = FDα, α = 1, 2.
Q7. How often is the strain a standard relation between the width and height of a fabric specimen?
Very often, it is assumed that N = 3M , which is the standard relation between the width and height of a fabric specimen for experimental and numerical tests.
Q8. What is the buckling of the fibers?
Many fiber reference curvatures have been considered (e.g., sinusoidal, spiral, parabolic fibers), and for parabolic fibers, experiments (Fig. 22) and model (Fig. 23) both show that, after a critical load, out-of-plane buckling occurs during bias extension, because the transverse (curved) beams in the middle of the specimen undergo buckling induced by the shortening of the middle width of the specimen.
Q9. What is the strain energy density of a 2D continuummodel?
A 2D continuummodel embedded in a 3D space has been also proposed [48] where, relying on a variational framework, the following strain energy density is proposedπ
Q10. What is the simplest way to address the homogenization of pantographic fabrics?
Reference [18] has first addressed the homogenization à la Piola of pantographic fabrics in a linear setting, proving that the homogenization of pantographic fabrics gives rise to second gradient continua.
Q11. What is the simplest explanation of the hencky-type micromodel?
1.4 À la Piola homogenized elastic plate modelConsidering the discrete Hencky-type micromodel presented above, a 2D continuum macromodel has been derived by means of micro–macro transitions.
Q12. What is the space of admissible placements for the Pipkin continuum under study?
the space of admissible placements for the Pipkin continuum under study is uniquely determined by the continuous piecewise twice continuously differentiable fields μ1(ξ1) and μ2(ξ2).
