In this paper we present a model in which the motions of two families of beams constituting a pantographic sheet, when described with two independent placement fields, allows to correctly simulate the points of fracture onset in axial tension test. The deformation energy is postulated in function of these independent displacements as involving an additive quadratic term of deformation energy depending on the squared norm of their difference. The first performed numerical simulations establish that the most strained pivots are exactly the ones where one observes the first rupture
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
