NEW PREPRINT ON MIXED-DIMENSIONAL COUPLING

7 November 2022

In this preprint, we propose a method to consistently couple Cosserat beams to the surface of solid volumes. The method, which couples the positional and rotational Cosserat degrees of freedom to the solid surface, has been verified by several numerical examples, including a fluid-structure interaction problem of a stented artery.
