A Cosserat Rod Model of Multi-Symplectic Structure and its Numerical Treatment

Abstract:

In this paper, a Hamiltonian formulation of the Cosserat rod model is proposed. The model, based on the Cossert rod theory incorporates shear, elongation, flexure and twist deformation, is of multi-symplectic structure. A multi-symplectic algorithm is employed to discretize the equation and a numerical example is giving.
