Analysis of Flexible Media by Dynamic Elastica Theory with Aerodynamic Force

공기저항이 고려된 Dynamic Elastica 이론을 통한 유연매체의 거동해석

In many machines handling lightweight and flexible media, such as automated teller machines and printers, the media must transit an open space. It is important to predict the static and dynamic behavior of the sheets with a high degree of reliability The nonlinear theory of the dynamic elastica has often been used to a nonlinear dynamic deflection model. In this paper, the governing equation is derived and simulated by the finite difference method. The analysis has to include aerodynamic effect for more exact behavior analysis, because the flexible media can be deformed drastically by a little force. Therefore aerodynamic force must be applied to the governing equation. Different results were obtained with and without aerodynamic effect and the resulted show that after contacting circular guide, the directions of flexible media of two cases are different.
