Helical buckling of thin rods: FE modelling

In this paper, we utilize the Finite Element (FE) method to model twisting of long thin rods and capture the bifurcation scenarios leading to heli- cal buckling and various further post-buckling states. Since standard nonlinear beam elements do not account for nonlinearity in torsional mode, we deri...
