A thin elastic rod is held at one end in a strong cross wind. The nonlinear large deformation equations are formulated and solved by perturbation and numerical integration. The problem is governed by a nondimensional parameter K representing the relative importance of aerodynamic drag to flexural rigidity. For large K, phenomena such as nonuniqueness, instability, and hysteresis may occur.
