In the text we discuss the minimum critical load of rectangular plates which possess the unsymmetrical supporters and to which the lateral buckling occurs unsymmetrically under a concentrated force, uniformly distributed load and the concentrated couples respectively.展开更多

It remains a challenge to identify the critical value of loading parameter for finite time instability observed in experiments without the need of specifying any prescribed threshold for al- lowable responses. Based on an energy balance analysis of a simple dynamic system, this paper proposes a general criterion for finite time stability which indicates that finite time stability of a linear dynamic system with constant coefficients during a given time interval [0, tf] is guaranteed provided the product of its maximum growth rate （determined by the maximum eigen-root pl 〉0） and the duration tf does not exceed 2, i.e., pltf 〈2. The proposed criterion （pltf=2） is applied to several problems of impacted buckling of elastic columns： （i） an elastic column impacted by a striking mass, （ii） longitudinal impact of an elastic column on a rigid wall, and （iii） an elastic column compressed at a constant speed （＂Hoff problem＂）, in which the time-varying axial force is replaced approximately by its average value over the time duration. Comparison of critical parameters predicted by the proposed criterion with available experimental and simulation data shows that the proposed criterion is in robust reasonable agreement with the known data, which suggests that the proposed simple criterion （pltf---2） can be used to estimate critical parameters for finite time stability of dynamic systems governed by linear equations with constant coefficients.展开更多

We obtain an estimate on the second eigenvalue in terms of the first eigenvalue. In particular, the estimate on first two eigenvalues of the higher order buckling problem of Huang, Li and Qi [5] is included in our results.展开更多
