Motivated by the rare studies of the dynamical problems and the common characteristic in biophysics: twirling filaments, which includes the diverse bacterial filaments
motion. We consider a simple dynamical system which one end is clamped to a motor and the other is free to study the
dynamical behaviors of a slender elastic rod at different motor rotation rate. There are three main parts in this thesis. First, we derive the general equations of motion for a slender elastic rod subjected to the external force (gravity). The axial rotation dynamics and geometry constraint about the torsion rate and spinning rate are considered in detail. Second, analytical and numerical methods reveal that a critical twirling rate (we term it the first critical twirling rate) exists, which controls the bifurcation behavior of axial rotation (i.e., twirling) and the steady whirling. Above the first critical twirling rate, the governing nonlinear equation for the rod shape at different whirling rate is solved by numerical method and the results agree with experimental measurements. Our theory also shows that when the motor rotation rate is higher than the second critical twirling rate, the rod would be bent back. We find the relation between the first (the second) critical twirling rate and the material parameters, that agrees well with results observed in experiments. Third, in experiments rods with long length, the whirling rate would remain almost constant as we increase the motor rotation rate. Whereas rods with short length, the whirling rate would be the same with the motor rotation rate. Thus we develop the linear stability analysis to study dynamical stability of a twirling rod at different whirling rate.
