“…Based on different model systems, the dynamics of axially moving continua has been studied extensively, and many results that reflect the corresponding physical mechanisms from different aspects have been documented (Wickert and Mote, 1990;Chung et al, 2001;Chen et al, 2002;Pellicano and Vestroni, 2002;Horssen, 2003;Horssen and Ponomareva, 2005;Ha et al, 2007;Ghayesh, 2008Ghayesh, , 2010Ghayesh, , 2011Ghayesh, , 2012Koivurova, 2009;Ponomareva and Horssen, 2009;Ghayesh et al, 2012;Yang and Fang, 2013). In particular, some researchers have shown that the truncation method for string-like problems may lead to wrong results (Suweken and Horssen, 2003a, 2003band 2003cPonomareva and Horssen, 2007).…”
