An analysis of dynamic stability of an elastic column

ABSTRACT: By the Lyapunov direct method, dynamic stability of two conservative systems of finite degrees of freedom with one parameter is analyzed. Two Lyapunov functions are proposed for the two systems, respectively. When the number of degree of freedom the two systems tends to infinite, the two s...
