Structures loaded with a force acting along a fixed straight line, or the “Reut’s column problem”

Abstract: An elastic double pendulum subject to a force acting along a fixed straight line, the socalled "Reut's column problem", is a structure exhibiting flutter and divergence instability, which was never realized in practice and thus debated whether to represent reality or mere speculation. It is shown, both theoretically and experimentally, how to obtain the Reut's loading by exploiting the contact with friction of a rigid blade against a freely-rotating cylindrical constraint, which moves axially at constant speed… Show more

“…Recently, flutter and divergence instabilities have been shown to occur in structures loaded through nonconservative forces produced with frictional devices by Bigoni and Noselli [5], realizing the tangentially follower load postulated by Ziegler [34], and by Bigoni and Misseroni [8], obtaining the fixed-line load introduced by Reut [30]. The same type of instabilities is disclosed here in structural systems subject to conservative loadings when nonholonomic constraints are applied to the structure.…”

“…Even though only in recent years researchers framed follower forces into a more general and modern mathematical framework, early theoretical research on follower forces dates back to 1950. The most famous works include the Pflüger column (Pflüger, 1950;Pfluger, 1955;Tommasini et al, 2016;Bigoni et al, 2018b), the Ziegler paradox (Ziegler, 1952(Ziegler, , 1956Bottema, 1956;Ziegler, 1977;Bigoni et al, 2018a), the Beck's column (Beck, 1952), the Reut's column problem (Reut, 1939;Bigoni and Misseroni, 2020), and the first monography on the stability of non-conservative forces due to Bolotin (Bolotin, 1963). One of the most challenging issues related to the framework of follower forces was their actual realisation.…”
