Determining Cosserat constants of 2D cellular solids from beam models

Abstract We present results of a two-scale model of disordered cellular materials where we describe the microstructure in an idealized manner using a beam network model and then make a transition to a Cosserat-type continuum model describing the same material on the macroscopic scale. In such scale...
