Analysis of Static Instability of an Asymmetric, Rotating Sand-Wich Beam

الملخص EN

The static stability of an asymmetric, rotating sandwich beam subjected to an axial pulsating load has been investigated for pinned-pinned and fixed-free boundary conditions.

The equations of motion and associated boundary conditions have been obtained by using the Hamilton's energy principle.

Then, these equations of motion and the associated boundary conditions have been nondimensionalised.

A set of Hill's equations are obtained from the nondimensional equations of motion by the application of the general Galerkin method.

The static buckling loads have been obtained from Hill's equations.

The influences of geometric parameters and rotation parameters on the nondimensional static buckling loads have been investigated.
