Modeling of micropolar type chiral structures
Modeling of materials with chiral microstructure is considered. A model of structural joints is introduced. This model is a generalization of the models with complex interaction of finite size particles and three-link beam connections. Analytical solutions for a square cell and numerical solution for the lattice with a rigid inclusion are obtained. The latter solution clearly demonstrates the effect of chiral microstructure. Approximating continuum micropolar type model is derived for the square chiral Cosserat lattice.
