An expedited research and development effort is proposed to formulate           a nonlinear control theory of rotating shafts and chains.  There will           be three components to this effort: (i) We shall extend our recent              work on the nonlinear stability theory of buckling in rotating shafts           and chains to obtain a sharper picture of the way in which buckling             depends on both design parameters such as mass distribution and shaft           stiffness and also on the angular velocity profile of the rotation.             (ii) Taking account of the nonlinear dynamics of these systems, we              shall draw on recent work in nonlinear control theory to lay the                theoretical foundations for active control of buckling. (iii) We shall          design an experimental facility to support and guide future                     theoretical research in the control of rotating mechanisms.
