A discrete formulation of elastic rod has been tailored for the particular design task of geometric modelling, form finding and analysis of actively bent structural systems. The rod element is fully described by using vector based quantities, hence m... Read More about A finite-difference formulation of elastic rod for the design of actively bent structures.
