Abstract

A deterministic methodology is presented for developing closed-form deflection equations for two-dimensional and three-dimensional lattice structures. Two types of lattice structures are studied: beams and soft lattices. Castigliano's second theorem, which entails the total strain energy of structure, is utilized to generate highly accurate results. Derived deflection equations provide new insight into the bending and shear behavior of the two types of lattices, in contrast to classic solutions of similiar lattice truss structures.
