Modelling a Feather as a Strongly Anisotropic Elastic Shell
SessionSimulating Nature
DescriptionWe investigate the mechanical properties of bird feathers. Our lab experiments reveal a linear strain-stress relationship of the feather membrane in addition to an extreme anisotropy. From these findings we build a simple orthotropic model for the feather vane, whose numerical implementation avoids locking and ill-conditioning issues.
