Using the discrete Euler-Lagrange and Lagrange-d’Alembert principles, the behavior of the beam is simulated using variational integrators and, in particular, AVIs (Asynchronous Variational Integrators). Special emphasis is placed on the discrete mechanics and geometric structure underlying stress resultant beam models.Variational integratorsAVIdiscrete mechanicsEuler-Bernoulli beamB-spline.text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
