Abstract: Aiming at simulating elastic rods, we discretize a rod model based on a general theory of hyperelasticity for inextensible and unshearable rods. After reviewing this model and discussing topological effects of periodic rods, we prove convergence of the discretized functionals and stability of a corresponding discrete flow. Our experiments numerically confirm thresholds e.g. for Michell's instability and indicate a complex energy landscape, in particular in the presence of impermeability.
From the mathematical point of view the authors carry out a finite element discretization, based on linear and cubic elements, of a minimization problem representing the total of the energy functional attached to a general elastic rod. Actually, the discretization is based on a reformulation of the energy functional that provides coercivity properties even when the frame constraints are only approximately satisfied. For the iterative minimization scheme applied, the convergence (Gamma) and stability is proved. A lot of interesting numerical experiments are reported.
