ON THE PENDULUM: mathematics, physics & experiments: Low Reynolds Number drag model; perturbation & numerical methods; virtual mass, circular deviation, buoyancy; build test chamber, launch & control
D. S. DRUMHELLER Doug recently told me he intended to write a technical book about the classic clock pendulum... I learned he had designed and built a chamber with controlled environment and a mechanism to move a pendulum, and had carried out original experiments to examine significant remaining questions about pendulum behavior ...his results...include the development of an apparently new empirical relation for low-velocity drag. This answered my question about relevance; the book provides new data and analytical results on low Reynolds number hydrodynamics, a subject with current importance due to developments in nanotechnology. There is another reason I believe the book will have enduring value. In describing his innovative experiments, thorough analysis of the results, and significant conclusions, Doug presents us with a model of method in applied mechanics. A. Bedford, Professor Emeritus, University of Texas at Austin and author of the textbook, Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics, Pearson.
