Lecture

Naturally Curved Hair in 2D

Description

This lecture explores the behavior of naturally curved hair falling under gravity, modeled as a thin elastic rod with specific properties. It delves into the mathematical equations governing the shape of the hair, considering forces, moments, and boundary conditions. The analysis covers scenarios with weak and strong gravity, examining the impact on the hair's shape near the scalp. Various equations are derived and solved to understand the deformation of the hair under different conditions.
