Dynamic Stability of a Kelvin‐Viscoelastic Column
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 109, Issue 4
Abstract
Dynamic stability of a Kelvin‐viscoelastic column subjected to a time varying axial load is considered. Deterministic loads with sinusoidal time variation is studied which reduces to a Mathieu equation. Special attention is given to stationary random excitations. Sufficiency stability criteria for columns subjected to white noise, Gaussian and general stationary random loadings are established. The stability conditions for certain class of nonstationary random forcing are also discussed.
