Vibration of a Cantilever Beam that Slides Axially in a Rigid Frictionless Hole.
Abstract
This paper considers a cantilever beam which can move in and out of a rigid frictionless hole. Hamilton's principle is used for the development of two governing equations, and boundary conditions defined over a moving boundary. A transformation of coordinates is used to transform the problem into a system of two nonlinear p.d.e. defined over a fixed region. A discussion of some mathematical and physical considerations is presented. Finally, a finite element formulation of the problem is presented. (Author)
