Dynamika pręta obciążonego dwiema siłami śledzącymi

Kosta A. Mladenov

The purpose of the paper is to investigate the dynamical behaviour of a bar subjected to two follower forces. Numerical solutions of the characteristic equation show that both flutter and divergence instability may occur depending on the parameters of the system and the ratio between the magnitudes of the two forces.
