ABSTRACT
In the paper we analyze the influence of the shear stiffness in the deformation of a new recently introduced thin structure called pantographic sheet or pantographic beam lattice. The structure consists of two families of long elastic fibers connected by pivots. Here we compare the effect of different models of shear stiffness on the deformation of pantographic sheets suitably interconnected and on the deformation of pantographic sheets deformed under the action of forces concentrated on points.
