Summary
In this paper, static and dynamic stabilities of a cantilever laminated composite beam, having a linear translation spring as elastic support whose position is changeable from the free end to midspan of the beam, subjected to periodic vertical end loading, are examined. The beam is assumed to be an Euler beam and the finite element model used can accommodate symmetric and antisymmetric lay-ups. Solutions referred to as combination resonance are investigated for the dynamic stability analysis. The effects of length-to-thickness ratio, the variation of cross-section in one direction, orientation angle, static and dynamic load parameters, stiffness and position of the elastic support on stability are examined.
