2.  Investigate instability mechanism in melt blowing

3.  Used to measure Lagrangian motion

7.  Fast Fourier Transform

9.  Many harmonics, few that make a difference

11.  Determine correlation between string length and snapping length or air velocity and snapping length

12.  Gravity causes artificial snapping point- makes unreliable results  New setup

16.  Using a fixed-length criteria skews results  Compare ratios of width to snapping length

17.  Use the frequencies found in the FFT to augment theoretical model  Analyze the movement of the string in a vertical position  Use polymer solution to simulate melt blowing and to compare it to the thread movement model Conclusion: 2 months is not enough
