A further finite-element analysis of Carnaby and Grosberg's yarn model is presented. This analysis is based on the direct equilibration of internal stresses and is less formal than the energy-based analysis presented in Part I. Solutions are obtained for both types of analysis by using only a fraction of the computing effort required by the solution method presented by Carnaby and Grosberg.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
