Equilibrium Configurations of the Noncircular Cross-Section Elastic Rod Model with the Elliptic KB Method
The mechanical deformation of DNA is very important in many biological processes. In this paper, we consider the reduced Kirchhoff equations of the noncircular cross-section elastic rod characterized by the inequality of the bending rigidities. One family of exact solutions is obtained in terms of r...
