Abstract: The dynamic stability of a cantilevered beam actuated by a nonconservative follower force has previously been studied for its interesting dynamical properties and its applications to engineering designs such as thrusters. ...

Abstract: A free–free beam with a compressive follower force applied to one end exhibits interesting flutter and limit cycle oscillation (LCO) responses. Here, the derivation from Lagrange's equations is given for the nonlinear ...

Abstract: Recent results in the literature highlight the impact of nonlinear inertial forces on the post-flutter limit cycle oscillation (LCO) characteristics of highly deflected structures in supersonic axial flow. The current ...
