Geometrically exact beam elements and smooth contact schemes for the modeling of fiber-based materials and structures
Christoph Meier, Maximilian J. Grill, Wolfgang A. Wall +1
Recently, the authors have proposed a novel all-angle beam contact (ABC) formulation that combines the advantages of existing point and line contact models in a variationally consi…
Geometrically Exact Finite Element Formulations for Curved Slender Beams: Kirchhoff-Love Theory vs. Simo-Reissner Theory
Christoph Meier, Wolfgang A. Wall, Alexander Popp
The present work focuses on geometrically exact finite elements for highly slender beams. It aims at the proposal of novel formulations of Kirchhoff-Love type, a detailed review of…
A Unified Approach for Beam-to-Beam Contact
Christoph Meier, Wolfgang A. Wall, Alexander Popp
Existing beam contact formulations can be categorized in point contact models that consider a discrete contact force at the closest point of the beams, and line contact models that…
A Finite Element Approach for the Line-to-Line Contact Interaction of Thin Beams with Arbitrary Orientation
Christoph Meier, Alexander Popp, Wolfgang A. Wall
The objective of this work is the development of a novel finite element formulation describing the contact interaction of slender beams in complex 3D configurations involving arbit…
