A Geometric Model for the Coiling of an Elastic Rod Deployed Onto a Moving Substrate

A Geometric Model for the Coiling of an Elastic Rod Deployed Onto a Moving Substrate

We report results from a systematic numerical investigation of the nonlinear patterns that emerge when a slender elastic rod is deployed onto a moving substrate; a system also known as the elastic sewing machine (ESM). The discrete elastic rods (DER) method is employed to quantitatively characterize...
