Stability of a rocking block on a cylinder, including the effect of initial imperfections of arbitrary magnitude
The effect of initial imperfections on the critical bifurcation parameter of a rocking block rolling without slip** on a cylinder is investigated. The theory is developed in terms of generalized coordinates....
