ME-411 (Fall 2024) Lecture 06: Mechanics of Kirchhoff Rods II
17.10.2024, 13:56
How to use the Kirchhoff equations of rods. Examples (in 3D):
* Example of kinematics in 3D: Determine the shape of a rod, given the Darboux vector.
* Example of twisted solutions in the Kirchhoff equations: Determine the shape of a rod, given the boundary conditions.
