Analysis of the dynamic stability of a viscously damped elastic quadratic model structure modulated by a periodic load
Abstract In this paper, we employ perturbation procedures in asymptotic expansions of the various variables to determine the dynamic buckling load of a lightly damped elastic quadratic model structure modulated by a dynamic periodic load. We finally ...
