TY - GEN A1 - Sander, Oliver T1 - Coupling Geometrically Exact Cosserat Rods and Linear Elastic Continua N2 - We consider the mechanical coupling of a geometrically exact Cosserat rod to a linear elastic continuum. The coupling conditions are formulated in the nonlinear rod configuration space. We describe a Dirichlet--Neumann algorithm for the coupled system, and use it to simulate the static stresses in a human knee joint, where the Cosserat rods are models for the ligaments.
