This collection aims to collect the most recent works in the areas of mechanical modelling, mathematical formulations, and numerical methods for highly flexible slender structures. The topics of interest involve advanced concepts in experimental and theoretical structural mechanics, contact problems and non-smooth dynamics, computational geometry, discretisation methods and geometric numerical integration including the newest advances in numerical formulations on non-linear manifolds. This collection is intended to be a reference for the generation of virtual prototyping tools for products in which highly flexible structures play a key role in the functional performance of the system.
