A Numerical Cosserat-Approach Predicting the Statical Stability of a Plane Frictionless Block-Structure, and its Boundary Conditions

  • Chapter
Advances in Continuum Mechanics

Abstract

The idea of Cosserat-continua was published at the end of the last century [1,2] and re-formulated by Günther [3] and Grioli [4] in 1958 and 1960, resp. These papers were followed by lots of articles concerning theoretical aspects and generalisations (see [5,6]), whereas applications were usually not mentioned. Lippmann [7] and his school showed that predictions of rotations in a plane system of needles are possible [8, 9].
