Abstract
We consider a very large periodic truss call lattices structures.
In classical calculus, the periodic truss character
and his global geometric are forgotten. With the homogenization
method that we have developed, the lattice is replace
by a continuum model which approaches in a certain
sense the real structure. This is true when the number
of constitutive cells becomes large. The homogenization
method had been developed in linear static case and in
free vibration. This paper generalizes it for the large displacement
assumption. The truss equilibrium is written
on the unknown deformed configuration.
