Dynamic Stability Investigation of a Sandwich Beam Tapered along width and thickness with Temperature Gradient

Abstract

The investigation to analyze a sandwich beam's dynamic stabilitywith asymmetric configuration, tapered along the thickness and width, and influenced by an alive axial load with temperature gradient is executed for several boundary conditions employing computational method. Use of Hamilton’s principle results in the equations of motion and related boundary conditions. Hill’s equations are achieved using non-dimensionalized equations of motion with the Galerkin’s method. Then, the influence ofseveral parameterson the dynamic stability for different boundary conditions are attained by applying Saito-Otomi conditions. The impact of differentparameters on the regions of instabilities observed and is showcased in a sequence of graphs using the appropriate MAT LAB program.
