Abstract

In this paper, dynamics instability of laminated composite beams subjected to axial and harmonically varying time loads are studied. The equations of motion are derived in integral form using the principle of virtual work and the first order shear deformation theory. A five node twenty-two degrees of freedom beam element has been developed to discretize these equations. The regions of dynamic instability of the beam are determined by solving the obtained Mathieu form differential equations. The effects of non-conservative loads and shear stiffness parameters on dynamic instability of the beam are studied.
