dc.description.abstract | <p> This thesis describes the analytical study of the stability of the structural system under circulatory loading and/or parametric excitation. The model is a double pendulum, composed of two rigid weightless bars of equal length and two concentrated masses at the ends of each bar, on an oscillating base. The vertical oscillation of the base produces parametric excitation to the system. A circulatory force is applied at the free end. At the joints the restoring moments are produced by spring and damping. The damping coefficients are taken as positive, and the gravitational effects are included. </p> <p> The combined effect of the circulatory loading and parametric excitation on stability of the system is investigated. The problem is so formulated that the stability of the system is represented by coupled Mathieu equations. The effect of damping on the boundary of stability is also determined. </p> | en_US |
