A Fully-Nonlocal Quasicontinuum Method to Model the Nonlinear Response of Periodic Truss Lattices
We present a framework for the efficient, yet accurate description of general periodic truss networks based on concepts of the quasicontinuum (QC) method. Previous research in coarse-grained truss models has focused either on simple bar trusses or on two-dimensional beam lattices undergoing small de...
