“…Although the aforementioned hypotheses allow relevant simplifications of the equilibrium problem, they do not reflect the actual behavior of solids subjected to large deformations. Hence, Pelliciari and Tarantino [11] provided a fully nonlinear solution of the problem, where both displacements and deformations are large and the rods are regarded as hyperelastic bodies composed of a general homogeneous compressible isotropic material. The constitutive law is thus defined through a stored energy function that can be different from the harmonic potential employed in the case of linear materials.…”
This paper presents the formulation of the equilibrium problem of a three-bar truss in the nonlinear context of finite elasticity. The bars are composed of a homogeneous, isotropic, and compressible hyperelastic material. The equilibrium equations in the deformed configuration are derived under the assumption of homogeneous deformations and the stability of the solutions is assessed through the energy criterion. The general formulation is then specialized for a compressible Mooney–Rivlin material. The results for both vertical and horizontal load cases show unexpected post-critical behaviors involving several branches, stable asymmetrical configurations, bifurcation, and snap-through. The three-bar truss studied here is not only a benchmark test for the numerical analysis of nonlinear truss structures, but also a representative system for the unit cell of the graphene hexagonal lattice. Therefore, an application to graphene is performed by simulating the covalent bonds between carbon atoms as the bars of the truss, characterized by the modified Morse potential. The results provide insights on the internal mechanisms that take place when graphene undergoes large in-plane deformations, whose influence should be considered when developing molecular mechanics and continuum models in nonlinear elasticity.

“…This last condition has been determined by imposing that when the stretches are unitary the stresses are null (see, e.g., [34], [35] and [36]). Other details on the above stored energy function can be found in [37] and [38].…”
In this paper the mathematical formulation of the equilibrium problem of high-flexible beams in the framework of fully nonlinear structural mechanics is presented. The analysis is based on the recent model proposed by L. Lanzoni and A.M. Tarantino: The bending of beams in finite elasticity. [1]. In this model the complete three-dimensional kinematics of the beam is taken into account, both deformations and displacements are considered large and a nonlinear constitutive law in assumed. After having illustrated and discussed the peculiar mechanical aspects of this special class of structures, the criteria and methods of analysis have been addressed. A classification of the structures based on the degree of kinematic constraints has been proposed, distinguishing between isogeometric and hypergeometric structures. External static loads dependent on deformation (live loads) are also considered. The governing equations are derived on the basis of a moment-curvature relationship obtained in [1]. The governing equations take the form of a highly nonlinear coupled system of equations in integral form, which is solved through an iterative numerical procedure. Finally, the proposed analysis is applied to some popular structural systems subjected to dead and live loads. The results are compared and discussed.
