Force and moment balance equations for geometric variational problems on curves
E. L. Starostin, G. H. M. van der Heijden
We consider geometric variational problems for a functional defined on a curve in three-dimensional space. The functional is assumed to be written in a form invariant under the gro…

Cascade unlooping of a low-pitch helical spring under tension
E. L. Starostin, G. H. M. van der Heijden
We study the force vs extension behaviour of a helical spring made of a thin torsionally-stiff anisotropic elastic rod. Our focus is on springs of very low helical pitch. For certa…
