Default Don't you love it when your boat shivers?

RedCloud shivers quite often, but it only has one frequency of
shivering, the shiver is always the same, just different durations
and
strength.

Anyone elses boat shiver?

If your boat was a thin rod it would have only one modality of
"shivering" and one fundamental frequency of resonance. Your iron
bucket is a complex structure with multiple modailities and a complex
of harmonics.

Thanks, that's good info. I had always assumed rust was just too soft to
have any harmonics at all.
