Frontini, M.; Gotusso, L. Conservative linear models for the vibrating string and rod free to slide at one end point, on a vertical guide. (English) Zbl 0903.73033 Comput. Math. Appl. 35, No. 6, 41-50 (1998). Summary: The motion of a linear vibrating string, or rod, fixed at one point and free to slide on a vertical guide at the other one, is studied. Only transversal vibrations are considered. The motion is simulated by a discrete conservative model. In order to prove that the total energy is conserved, a matrix form of the potential and kinetic energy is used. The numerical method related to the model turns out to be unconditionally stable. Some examples of the motion simulated by the model are given.
