Lecture

Kirchhoff Rods: Equilibrium Equations and Kinematics

Description

This lecture covers the kinematics and equilibrium equations of Kirchhoff rods, introducing the Darboux vector and discussing the geometric coupling between bending and twist. The instructor explains the constitutive law relating internal moment and rotation, and demonstrates the derivation of Kirchhoff's equations using variational principles.
