We propose a method for the quasi-static solution of Cosserat rods in contact with implicit surfaces. By leveraging the strain parameterization reduction approach, the quasi-static evolution is computed by solving an ordinary differential equation (ODE). To address the inherent stiffness of the ODE,
We propose a method for solving the strong form of the dynamic Cosserat rod clamped-free boundary value problem (BVP) under frictional contact. The shooting method is employed for BVP solving, and contact response is computed using the penalty method. The proposed method is tailored for accurate and…
We propose an orthogonal collocation method (CM) for solving Cosserat rod Dirichlet-Neumann boundary value problems in static and dynamic modes. We interpolate the internal loading and collocate the strong form of the differential equations. The method uses Chebyshev polynomials in order to minimize…
