ABAQUS models for chiral TIM systems

<p>Topologically Interlocked Material systems are a class of architectured materials. TIM systems are assembled from individual building blocks and are confined by an external frame. In particular, 2D, plate-type assemblies are considered. This publication contains files for the numerical analysis of the mechanical behavior of TIM systems through the use of finite element analysis. ABAQUS model files (inp format) for the study of the chiral/achiral response are provided.</p>

<p>Files chirality_s1_in.inp are for type I square assemblies. n=3,5,7,9</p>
