Stationary dynamics of a chain fountain

摘要: Chain fountains are known since long time, and many efforts have been taken to model explain the dynamics of such a chain fountain. A consists small elements starting from an inertial container, forms this specific arc comes position again after rather vertical distance. As all connected by bearing-type structure, they move with same velocity v. In following we shall consider only stationary case not evolution state rest fountain Most models use idea continuous model. apply multibody theory in addition modeling each bead its connections separately. Results confirm approach.
