“…Due to the manufacturing constraints and disadvantages of metallic isogrid LCS structures, several studies on more general composite anisogrid geodesic designs have been conducted, covering design [9][10][11], manufacturing [12], mechanical properties [13], buckling [5], failure [14], and applications [2,[15][16][17][18], to name only a few. Structural models of the lattice may be simplified by "smearing out", averaging, or taking mean values of the lattice properties and considering them as a solid continuous sheet of isotropic material with elastic properties [8,[19][20][21][22]. Alternatively, more precise but more complex approaches may be used in conjunction with finite element technology, when using numerical computational analysis tools [5,6,21,23].…”
