Abstract
In mechanical systems, the mechanical power is often provided by an electric motor. This power is supplied to a load by means of a shaft or a mechanical transmission that is made of steel. Despite the mechanical strength of steel, flexibility becomes a significant phenomenon when large loads are present. This situation is common in large radio telescopes, for instance.
