How do I calculate the bending energy for a cross-linked beam network?
It is a 3D calculation. So these beams can translate and rotate in 3D. So you are saying my Bernoulli equation should be EI*u'''' = 0, and I should be able to get boundary conditions like u and u' for the two ends of each beam, which will give me the four conditions to solve for u...- jjyoung

How do I calculate the bending energy for a cross-linked beam network?
Hello, I'm working on a project involving a cross-linked network of beam-like objects. We take these networks and apply extensional and shear strains to it, then apply an energy minimization procedure to find the optimal positions for all the cross-links in the new state. Therefore I have to...- jjyoung
