Description
Summary:	In this paper a discrete model, the bielastic web of links, is introduced and analyzed with respect to its static equilibrium states, buckling and stability under compression. Analytical solutions are derived for the buckling loads of the trivial, purely compressed equilibrium state of the structure, and for the geometry of the buckled configurations. The equilibrium states of larger webs are calculated considering large displacements, utilizing a recently developed numerical algorithm. The correspondence between the bielastic web of links and a special sandwich beam, the Csonka's beam, is shown, and an example is given for the application of the model.
