For nearly two centuries, the dynamics of chains have offered examples of paradoxical theoretical predictions.

Abstract

For nearly two centuries, the dynamics of chains have offered examples of paradoxical theoretical predictions. Here, we propose a theory for the dissipative dynamics of one-dimensional continua with singularities which provides a unified treatment for chain problems that have suffered from paradoxical solutions. These problems are duly solved within the present theory and their paradoxes removed-we hope.
