Abstract: Elastic-driven slender filaments subjected to compressive follower forces provide a synthetic way to mimic the oscillatory beating of biological flagella and cilia. Here, we use a continuum model to study the dynamical, ...

Abstract: Abstract. Beam bending and torsional behavior are foundational to structural mechanics, forming the cornerstone of engineering analysis for slender structures across educational and research domains. Traditional instruction ...

Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by increased response times leading to a variety of biomechanical symptoms, such as tremors, stooping, and gait instability. Although the deterioration ...

Abstract: Computational rod models have emerged as efficient tools to simulate the bending and twisting deformations of a variety of slender structures in engineering and biological applications. The dynamics of such deformations, ...
