Abstract
A systematic numerical integration method is applied to the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) fully parameterized beam element with smooth varying and continuous cross section. Moreover, the formulation for the integration points and weight coefficients are given in the method which is used to model the multilayer beam with a circular cross section. To negate the effect of the bending stiffness for the element used to model the high-voltage electrical wire, the general continuum mechanical approach is adjusted. Additionally, the insulation cover for some particular types of the wire is described by the nearly incompressible Mooney–Rivlin material model. Finally, a static problem is presented to prove the accuracy and convergence properties of the element, and a dynamic problem of a flexible pendulum is simulated whereby the balance of the energy can be ensured. An experiment is carried out in which a wire is released as a pendulum and falls on a steel rod. The configurations of the wire are captured by a high-speed camera and compared with the simulation results. The feasibility of the wire model can therefore be demonstrated.
