Flexible beam in R 3 under large overall motions and Asynchronous Variational Integrators

چکیده
The goal of this note is to present some new results on the application of AVI algorithms to the Simo-Marsden-Krishnaprasad beam model based on a description using rotation matrices. This follows our earlier work on the Euler-Bernoulli beam and thin-shell models with Kirchhoff-Love constraints and various boundary conditions. We consider the effect of large deflections, when the beam is subject to constraints, with different boundary conditions, and show that we can use the properties of the AVI to adapt the time-step to the constraints.

Lie group and Lie algebra variational integrators for flexible beam and plate in R
The purpose of this research project is to develop variational integrators synchronous or asynchronous, which can be used as tools to study complex structures composed of plates and beams subjected to large deformations and stress. We consider the geometrically exact models of beam and plate, whose configuration spaces are Lie groups. These models are suitable for modeling objects subjected to ...

متن کاملAVI as a mechanical tool for studying dynamic and static Euler-Bernoulli beam structures
The equilibrium position of an Euler-Bernoulli beam is investigated. Using the discrete Euler-Lagrange and Lagrange-d’Alembert principles, the behavior of the beam is simulated using variational integrators and, in particular, AVIs (Asynchronous Variational Integrators). Special emphasis is placed on the discrete mechanics and geometric structure underlying stress resultant beam models.

متن کامل8 Variational Lie Group Formulation of Geometrically Exact Beam Dynamics: Synchronous and Asynchronous Integration
For the elastodynamic simulation of a geometrically exact beam [1], an asynchronous variational integrator (AVI) [2] is derived from a PDE viewpoint. Variational integrators are symplectic and conserve discrete momentum maps and since the presented integrator is derived in the Lie group setting (SO (3) for the representation of rotational degrees of freedom), it intrinsically preserves the grou...
