An experimental investigation into the dynamics of a string

Abstract: We describe a detailed experimental investigation into the dynamics of a sinusoidally forced string. We find qualitative agreement with the predictions of the averaged equations of motion for a string in the high damping regime. At low damping we observe more complex phenomena not present in the averaged equations.

“…Much more recently, the Duffing oscillator acquired relevance in the realm of microtechnologies [7,8,9]. It has since long been known that the Duffing equation stands for the leading nonlinear correction to the oscillations of an elastic beam clamped at its two ends [10,11]. Minute vibrating silica beams, in turn, have been proposed as pacemakers for the design of time-keeping devices at the microscale, where traditional quartz crystals are difficult to build and operate [7].…”

“…Oplinger (1960) [20] compared numerical and experimental results of frequency response. Molteno and Tufillaro (2004) [15] checked qualitatively the agreement between the analytical results obtained via the truncated Kirchhoff string equation and the experimental results. The various numerical schemes, such as the Galerkin method [6] and finite difference methods [2,14,21], were developed to simulate the nonlinear Kirchhoff string model.…”

“…In 1990, Molteno and Tufillaro [15] carried out a simple experiment that explained the torus doubling transition to chaos in an axially travelling string. In addition, Molteno and Tufillaro [16] studied the nonlinear characteristics of a sinusoidally forced string and observed more complex phenomena not present in the solution of the equations of motion. However, as for the relationship between the transverse nonlinear vibration, the tension and the travelling speed of the belt, little experimental work has been reported.…”
