Buckling and dynamic stability of spinning pre-twisted beams under compressive axial loads (Q1804400)

The author deals with equations of motion of a spinning pretwisted Bernoulli-Euler beam under compressive axial loads, using the corresponding mode method. The standard approach to eigenvalue problems is used to determine the critical buckling loads for various combinations of prescribed spinning speeds. For the considered beams, the critical spinning speeds corresponding to different behaviours are no longer the dividing points which separate the speed zone into stable and unstable regions, contrary to the classical non-pretwisted beams. Numerical results are plotted into a great number of diagrams.
