A computational model for short-range van der Waals interactions between beams and shells
Aleksandar Borković, Michael H. Gfrerer, Roger A. Sauer
We consider potential-based interactions between beams (or fibers) and shells (or membranes) using a coarse-grained approach with focus on van der Waals attraction and steric repul…
Efficient snap-to-contact computations for van der Waals interacting fibers
Aleksandar Borković, Michael H. Gfrerer, Roger A. Sauer +1
We consider van der Waals interactions between in-plane fibers, where the computational model employs the Lennard-Jones potential and the coarse-grained approach. The involved 6D i…
On analytical integration of interaction potentials between cylindrical and rectangular bodies with a focus on van der Waals attraction
Aleksandar Borković, Michael H. Gferer, Roger A. Sauer
The paper deals with the analytical integration of interaction potentials between specific geometries such as disks, cylinders, rectangles, and rectangular prisms. Interaction pote…
A novel section-section potential for short-range interactions between plane beams
A. Borković, M. H. Gfrerer, R. A. Sauer +2
We derive a novel formulation for the interaction potential between deformable fibers due to short-range fields arising from intermolecular forces. The formulation improves the exi…
Geometrically exact isogeometric Bernoulli-Euler beam based on the Frenet-Serret frame
A. Borković, M. H. Gfrerer, B. Marussig
A novel geometrically exact model of the spatially curved Bernoulli-Euler beam is developed. The formulation utilizes the Frenet-Serret frame as the reference for updating the orie…
