On a discrete model of an elastic rod
Abstract
The paper examines the problem of the stability of equilibrium of an elastic rod one of whose ends is fixed. A discrete model of the rod is developed which represents the rod as a collection of stiff homogeneous rods connected with one another and with a fixed base via elastic joints consisting of ideal hinges and spiral springs.
