On controlled rotation of an elastic rod (Q794497): Difference between revisions

Plane rotational motions of an elastic rod loaded by a perfectly rigid body and acted upon by a controlling moment of forces, are considered. A system of integrodifferential equations with initial and boundary conditions is obtained. Asymptotic methods are used to obtain the solution of the control problems, close to the two limiting cases: 1) the case of weightless rod (quasistatic approximation) and 2) the case of high flexural rigidity.
