Abstract:The steady-state whirling motion of linear elastic filaments under self-weight with rotary excitation at one end and free at the other is examined; specifically, the effect of bending rigidity is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Similarities between the problem of a perfectly flexible string and filament with non-negligible bending stiffness are exploited in identifying the possible modes of oscillation. The theoretical predictions have been compared with the experimental results for thin fi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
