The shapes of physical trefoil knots
Paul Johanns, Paul Grandgeorge, Changyeob Baek +3
We perform a compare-and-contrast investigation between the equilibrium shapes of physical and ideal trefoil knots, both in closed and open configurations. Ideal knots are purely g…
Technical Brief: Finite Element Modeling of Tight Elastic Knots
Changyeob Baek, Paul Johanns, Tomohiko G. Sano +2
We present a methodology to simulate the mechanics of knots in elastic rods using geometrically nonlinear, full three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. We focus on the mech…
Mechanics of two filaments in tight contact: The orthogonal clasp
Paul Grandgeorge, Changyeob Baek, Harmeet Singh +5
Networks of flexible filaments often involve regions of tight contact. Predictively understanding the equilibrium configurations of these systems is challenging due to intricate co…
