Abstract |
|
A preliminary discrete model of a rope is considered both as a scleronomic and a rheonomic system. Numerical experiments are performed and advantages of the applied algorithm are discussed on the basis of energy conservation. The problem of discretization of the rope is presented in terms of efficient computational simulations. A wave-like effect is discussed with regard to energy transfer and velocity of the model tip. The next directions of the model development are outlined. |
