Statics and dynamics of mechanical lattices

This thesis contributes to the understanding of one dimensional mechanical lattice structures. Structures formed from freely pin jointed rigid links with either vertical or torsional springs at the pivots, or both, are studied under the in uence of an axial load. These studies fall into three parts:...
