Straight Configurations of Shearable Nonlinearly Elastic Rods
Investigating obstacle problems for elastic rods we are sometimes confronted with the question to look for a solution which has a prescribed shape along some part of it. In the simplest case the rod is enforced to be straight along some contact area (cf., e.g., Gastaldi & Kinderlehrer [3]). Motivated by such applications we study straight configurations of elastic rods in this paper. More preci...
متن کاملRegularity for shearable nonlinearly elastic rods in obstacle problems
In this paper we are interested in regularity results to obstacle problems for shearable nonlinearly elastic rods. We work with the geometrically exact Cosserat theory for planar deformations which describes rods that can suffer not only flexure but also extension and shear and it involves general nonlinear constitutive relations. This is a consistent intrinsically one-dimensional theory which,...
متن کاملEuler-Lagrange Equations for Nonlinearly Elastic Rods with Self-Contact
We derive the Euler-Lagrange equations for nonlinear elastic rods with self-contact. The excluded volume constraint is formulated in terms of an upper bound on the global curvature of the centreline. This condition is shown to guarantee the global injectivity of the deformation mapping of the elastic rod. Topological constraints such as a prescribed knot and link class to model knotting and sup...

In this paper we study the local and global injectivity of spatial deformations of shearable nonlinearly elastic rods. We adopt an analytical condition introduced by Ciarlet & Ne cas in nonlinear elasticity to ensure global injectivity in that case. In particular we verify the existence of an energy minimizing equilibrium state without self-penetration which may be also restricted by a rigid ob...
متن کاملGlobal curvature and self-contact of nonlinearly elastic curves and rods
Many different physical systems, e.g. super-coiled DNA molecules, have been successfully modelled as elastic curves, ribbons or rods. We will describe all such systems as framed curves, and will consider problems in which a three dimensional framed curve has an associated energy that is to be minimized subject to the constraint of there being no selfintersection. For closed curves the knot type...
