    The theory of nets with bending stiffness is meant to model some aspects of the mechanical behavior of cloth and cable networks. We use this theory to study the effect of small bending stiffness in plane deformations. It is shown that the theory of perfectly flexible networks gives an adequate approximation except at places where that theory predicts discontinuous changes in fiber directions, and at boundaries along fibers. In such regions singular perturbation methods can be used to analyze the stress and deformation.
