Abstract

Abstract: The parametrically excited stability of a periodically stiffened beam under general periodic axial excitation is studied and the effect of periodic stiffeners on the beam stability is considered for the first time. The partial differential equation of motion of the beam with periodic stiffeners under axial excitation is given. The Galerkin method is used to convert the partial differential equation into ordinary differential equations with periodic time-varying parameters. The direct eigenvalue analysis method based on the Fourier expansion and generalized eigenvalue analysis is applied to solve the parametrically excited stability problem of the stiffened beam. A simply supported beam with periodic stiffeners under periodic axial excitation is considered for numerical investigation. The parametrically excited stability of the stiffened beam and the effects of stiffeners and excitation on the stability are illustrated by numerical results on unstable regions.
