Jan 10, 2012 · In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, John Strutt (Lord Rayleigh) and Theodore von Kármán discovered that strings in a wind move perpendicular to the flow of air. This interaction between the fluid and the structure occurs because of nonlinear resonance of cylinders or spheres through vortex-shedding lock-in.
