contents The paper deals with the analytical integration of interaction potentials between specific geometries such as disks, cylinders, rectangles, and rectangular prisms. Interaction potentials are modeled as inverse-power laws with respect to the point-pair distance, and the complete body-body potential is obtained by pairwise summation (integration). Several exact new interaction laws are obtained, such as disk-plate and (in-plane) rectangle-rectangle for an arbitrary exponent, and disk-disk and rectangle-rectangle for van der Waals attraction. To balance efficiency and accuracy, additional approximate laws are proposed for disk-disk, point-cylinder, and disk-cylinder interactions. A brief numerical example illustrates the application of the pre-integrated Lennard-Jones disk-disk interaction potential for the interaction between elastic fibers.
