Variational integrators, known for their excellent numerical stability in long-term integration, are utilized in this paper for a novel second order variational integrator RATTLie for constrained systems on nonlinear configuration spaces with Lie group structure. The method exploits the linear structure of the Lie algebra, and is tested on a geometrically exact extensible Kirchhoff beam model.
Variational integrators are known for their excellent numerical stability in long-term integration. In the present paper, we consider a novel second order variational integrator RATTLie for constrained systems on nonlinear configuration spaces with Lie group structure. We exploit the linear structure of the Lie algebra, which parametrizes each tangent space of the Lie group. RATTLie was inspired by the well-known RATTLE integration scheme. In order to test our method, we apply it to simulate a geometrically exact extensible Kirchhoff beam model in the form of a constrained Cosserat beam model using a nonlinear configuration space with a semi-direct product Lie group structure.
