Figure 9.
The unstable mode of the curvature-controlled model with parameter values in table 3. (a) The mode shape expressed in terms of tangent angle, . (b) The mode shape expressed in terms of displacement
The real (solid line) and imaginary (dashed line) part of the mode is shown. The mode corresponds to eigenvalue σ = α + iω: α = 5.49 s−1, ω/2π = 36.3 Hz (unstable). See electronic supplementary material, movie S4 for corresponding animation.
