“…These papers considered linearly elastic material and addressed both static and dynamic cases, but they presented different approaches to time-stepping schemes and updating rotation vector: Eulerian [35,36], updated Lagrangian [40], and total Lagrangian [41,39]. Since these papers got published, research tackling the theoretical and computational techniques gained momentum and the advanced research in this field continues to occur till date, for examples: problems related to discretization and interpolation approaches [42,43,44,45,46,47,48], mixed formulation [49], non-linear materials and constitutive law [50,51,52,53], space and time-integration schemes [54,55,56], initially curved configuration [57,32], higher-order Kirchhoff-love beam [58,59,60], and enhanced kinematics [35,61,62,63]. Noteworthy contributions to computational formulation of geometrically-exact beam including shear deformation and their applications (e.g., multi-body dynamics of earth orbiting satellites) was made by Vu-Quoc in collaboration with Simo [64,65,66].…”
