Buckling of an elastic rod embedded on an elastomeric matrix: planar vs. non-planar configurations.
We investigate the buckling of a slender rod embedded in a soft elastomeric matrix through a combination of experiments, numerics and theory. Depending on the control parameters, both planar wavy (2D) or non-planar coiled (3D) configurations are observed in the post-buckling regime. Our analytical and numerical results indicate that the rod buckles into 2D configurations when the compression fo...
متن کاملQuasi-static manipulation of a Kirchhoff elastic rod based on a geometric analysis of equilibrium configurations
Consider a thin, flexible wire of fixed length that is held at each end by a robotic gripper. Any curve traced by this wire when in static equilibrium is a local solution to a geometric optimal control problem, with boundary conditions that vary with the position and orientation of each gripper. We prove that the set of all local solutions to this problem over all possible boundary conditions i...
متن کاملEquilibrium Configurations of a Kirchhoff Elastic Rod under Quasi-static Manipulation
Consider a thin, flexible wire of fixed length that is held at each end by a robotic gripper. The curve traced by this wire can be described as a local solution to a geometric optimal control problem, with boundary conditions that vary with the position and orientation of each gripper. The set of all local solutions to this problem is the configuration space of the wire under quasi-static manip...
متن کاملEquilibrium shapes of planar elastic membranes.
Using a rod theory formulation, we derive equations of state for a thin elastic membrane subjected to several different boundary conditions-clamped, simply supported, and periodic. The former is applicable to membranes supported on a softer substrate and subjected to uniaxial compression. We show that a wider family of quasistatic equilibrium shapes exist beyond the previously obtained analytic...
متن کاملRegularity Properties of Equilibrium Configurations of Epitaxially Strained Elastic Films
We consider a variational model introduced in the physical literature to describe the epitaxial growth of an elastic film over a rigid substrate, when a lattice mismatch between the two materials is present. We establish the regularity of volume constrained local minimizers of the total energy, proving in particular the so called zero contact-angle condition between the film and the substrate.
