This project investigates the dynamic behavior of a flexible                    cantilever beam which is subjected to disturbances along its axis.              Both analytical as well as experimental studies are conducted to                understand the nonlinear response of the beam.  Preliminary                     experimental study has shown some unusual and potentially dangerous             phenomena.  Understanding these phenomena is important to structural            designers and engineers.  For example, results of this study would be           beneficial to the designers of large structures envisioned for use in           a space environment.  Recent theoretical developments in nonlinear              dynamics are brought to bear in this study.
