Abstract: Deformations of membranes and networks formed with two families of highly elastic cords are considered. The cords are along the radial and circumferential directions of concentric circles and are perfectly joined together at their intersection points so that there is no slip relative to each other. The deformations studied include: (1) symmetric deformation of circular arcs or annuli, (2) straightening of circular arcs and (3) inverse bending of circular arcs. It is found that the second is a universal deformation, which satisfies the equilibrium equations for any constitutive relations of the material of the cords.
