Abstract
Axially moving continua are basic elements in such diverse mechanical systems as computer tape drives, paper tapes, band saws, power transmission chains and belts, aerial cable tramways, textile and fiberglass fibers, pipes conveying fluids, and oil lines (Mote, 1972). Vibration of axially moving continua limits their utility in many applications, and particularly high speed, precision systems. Flutter of a computer tape causes track misregistration, poor resolution in signals, or even loss of data. Excessive vibration of a band saw results in poor cutting accuracy and raw material waste. Oscillation of a drive belt superimposes pulley oscillation onto its nominal speed, often rendering the drive unsatisfactory in a precision machine. In nearly every instance, vibration leads to operational problems.
