Abstract: Model for three-link beam connection and then discrete mathematical model for material with chiral beam-like microstructure are obtained. The micropolar type model for approximating chiral media is derived. Analysis of the models and peculiarities of material behavior defined by microstructure is given.

Keywords: chirality, beam-like microstructure, micropolar model.
