Modelling the dynamics of elastic filaments

In this master's thesis an algorithm for modelling a three-dimensional elastic lament was developed. The model considers chains of beads that are constrained by stretching, bending and torsional forces. Equations that describe the dynamics of the system were derived from potential energies rela...
