Design and mathematical modelling of the kinetic sculpture Blade

Christchurch born artist Len Lye (1901- 1980) built the kinetic sculpture, Blade (1965), as a prototype for what he perceived to be a much larger work. This thesis presents a study, which predicts the vibratory response of Blade and develops a design for the sculpture to be built at the largest pr...
