Free vibration and Ljapounov stability of compressed open thin-walled beams with a cross-section reduction are studied by a in-house finite differences numerical code, based on a refined direct beam model and allowing for investigating elastic stability of non-trivial equilibrium paths in a dynamic setting. The benchmark is a beam with doubly symmetric cross-section and non-zero warping rigidity, under free, semi-, and fully restrained warping at its ends. In all cases, the results of the direct model are compared to finite element and/or experimental ones. The reduction in the cross-section rigidity induces a weakening that may model a local damage; thus, the present investigation may be useful with an outlook to damage monitoring and identification.

Abstract
Free vibration and Ljapounov stability of compressed open thin-walled beams with a cross-section reduction are studied by a in-house finite differences numerical code, based on a refined direct beam model and allowing for investigating elastic stability of non-trivial equilibrium paths in a dynamic setting. The benchmark is a beam with doubly symmetric cross-section and non-zero warping rigidity, under free, semi-, and fully restrained warping at its ends. In all cases, the results of the direct model are compared to finite element and/or experimental ones. The reduction in the cross-section rigidity induces a weakening that may model a local damage; thus, the present investigation may be useful with an outlook to damage monitoring and identification.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
