Partial constraint singularities in elastic rods
J. A. Hanna, H. Singh, E. G. Virga
We present a unified classical treatment of partially constrained elastic rods. Partial constraints often entail singularities in both shapes and reactions. Our approach encompasse…

On a paradox in the impact dynamics of smooth rigid bodies
Peter Palffy-Muhoray, Epifanio G. Virga, Mark Wilkinson +1
Paradoxes in the impact dynamics of rigid bodies are known to arise in the presence of friction. We show here that, on specificc occasions, in the absence of friction, the conserva…

Chain Paradoxes
Epifanio G. Virga
For nearly two centuries the dynamics of chains have offered examples of paradoxical theoretical predictions. Here we propose a theory for the dissipative dynamics of one-dimension…
