Dynamics and stability of a vertical rod using a water tower as an example

The problem of determining the dynamics of displacements and stability of the structure of high metal supports used in everyday life is solved. The sequence of calculation of the dynamic model (DCM) is determined using three methods of discretization of the system: concentrated masses, generalized variables and a finite element. The problem of deterministic longitudinal vibrations of the rod is solved, which essentially coincides with the classical problem of vibrations.
