Abstract
We present a method of continuous modelling of quasi repetitive lattice structures called discrete homogenization and derived from the periodic continuous medium homogenization. The structure studied here is a 2D quasi periodic lattice truss with pin-jointed nodes, for statics as well for vibrations. A 1D simple illustrative example is given.
