Lancret helices
Alexandre F. da Fonseca, C. P. Malta
Helical configurations of inhomogeneous symmetric rods with non-constant bending and twisting stiffness are studied within the framework of the Kirchhoff rod model. From the static…
Helical filaments with varying cross section radius
Alexandre F. da Fonseca, C. P. Malta
The tridimensional configuration and the twist density of helical rods with varying cross section radius are studied within the framework of the Kirchhoff rod model. It is shown th…
Resonant helical deformations in nonhomogeneous Kirchhoff filaments
Alexandre F. da Fonseca, C. P. Malta, Marcus A. M. de Aguiar
We study the three-dimensional static configurations of nonhomogeneous Kirchhoff filaments with periodically varying Young's modulus. This type of variation may occur in long tande…
