Abstract

The equations discussed here are those governing the bending of an elastic column when one end is given a known axial velocity. Existing solutions to this problem have assumed an infinite speed of propagation of the stress wave, The work described in this paper was originally started to determine when existing solutions are valid, and to devise practical methods of solution for those situations not adequately covered at present.
