Discrete Differential Geometry for Simulating Nonlinear Behaviors of Flexible Systems: A Survey
Dezhong Tong, Andrew Choi, Jiaqi Wang +7
Flexible slender structures such as rods, ribbons, plates, and shells exhibit extreme nonlinear responses bending, twisting, buckling, wrinkling, and self contact, that defy conven…
A tutorial on simulating nonlinear behaviors of flexible structures with the discrete differential geometry (DDG) method
Weicheng Huang, Zhuonan Hao, Jiahao Li +6
Flexible elastic structures, such as beams, rods, ribbons, plates, and shells, exhibit complex nonlinear dynamical behaviors that are central to a wide range of engineering and sci…
Real-time simulation enabled navigation control of magnetic soft continuum robots in confined lumens
Dezhong Tong, Zhuonan Hao, Jiyu Li +4
Magnetic soft continuum robots (MSCRs) have emerged as a promising technology for minimally invasive interventions, offering enhanced dexterity and remote-controlled navigation in…
Inverse Design of Planar Clamped-Free Elastic Rods from Noisy Data
Dezhong Tong, Zhuonan Hao, Weicheng Huang
Slender structures, such as rods, often exhibit large nonlinear geometrical deformations even under moderate external forces (e.g., gravity). This characteristic results in a rich…
