computational techniques This updated third edition of the popular reference covers state-of …

This paper describes a dynamic formulation of a straight beam finite element in the setting of
the special Euclidean group SE (3). First, the static and dynamic equilibrium equations are …

In this paper, we present a viscoelastic rod model that is suitable for fast and accurate
dynamic simulations. It is based on Cosserat's geometrically exact theory of rods and is able …

In this paper, a new strategy for develo** effective control policies suitable for guiding the
motion of articulated mechanical systems that are described within the framework of …

A variational formulation of constrained dynamics is presented in the continuous and in the
discrete setting. The existing theory on variational integration of constrained problems is …

The finite element formulation of geometrically exact rod models depends crucially on the
interpolation of the rotation field from the nodes to the integration points where the internal …

We propose a novel approach to the linear viscoelastic problem of shear-deformable
geometrically exact beams. The generalized Maxwell model for one-dimensional solids is …

This paper presents a numerical implementation of the geometrically exact beam theory
based on the Legendre‐spectral‐finite‐element (LSFE) method. The displacement‐based …
