Helices are essential building blocks of living organisms, be they molecular fragments of
proteins (α-helices), macromolecules (DNA and collagen), or multimolecular assemblies …

The aim of this graduate-level textbook is to show how the balance laws for theories of rods
and strings can be applied in a systematic manner to develop models for a wide range of …

This article gives an overview of recent research on the mechanical properties and spatial
deformations of the DNA molecule. Globally the molecule behaves like a uniform elastic rod …

Hexagonal ring origami is a type of foldable structure that has impressive packing abilities
and can be tessellated into two-dimensional or three-dimensional surfaces without any gap …

We develop a Lagrangian numerical algorithm for an elastic rod immersed in a viscous,
incompressible fluid at zero Reynolds number. The elasticity of the rod is described by a …

We investigate the instability and subsequent dynamics of a closed rod with twist and bend
in a viscous, incompressible fluid. A new version of the immersed boundary (IB) method is …

An elastic rod model of a protein-bound DNA loop is adapted for application in multi-scale
simulations of protein-DNA complexes. The classical Kirchhoff system of equations which …

Reflecting new developments in the study of Saint-Venant's problem, Classical and
Generalized Models of Elastic Rods focuses on the deformation of elastic cylinders for three …

Twisted marine cables on the sea floor can form highly contorted three-dimensional loops
that resemble tangles. Such tangles or 'hockles' are topologically equivalent to the …
