Hello, I'm a researcher in computational mechanics. I've been working with the ANCF-related code in Chrono lately, but I'm having trouble finding the underlying theoretical references. Could you please point me to the key papers or documentation for the following ANCF elements: ChElementBeamANCF_3243ChElementBeamANCF_3333ChElementHexaANCF_3813ChElementHexaANCF_3813_9ChElementHexaANCF_3843ChElementShellANCF_3423ChElementShellANCF_3443, and ChElementShellANCF_3833?

Look at these two papers and the references therein:

  1. M. Taylor, R. Serban, and D. Negrut, “Implementation Implications on the Performance of ANCF Simulations,” International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, p. 104328, doi:10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2022.104328, 2022.
  2. M. Taylor, R. Serban, and D. Negrut, “An Efficiency Comparison of Different ANCF Implementations,” International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, p. 104308, doi:10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2022.104308, 2022.
