Abstract
The stochastic instability problem associated with an axially loaded Timochenko beam made of viscoelastic material is formulated. The beam is treated as Voigt–Kelvin body compressed by time-dependent deterministic and stochastic forces. By using the direct Liapunov method, bounds of the almost sure instability of beams as a function of retardation time, variance of the stochastic force, mode number, section shape factor and intensity of the deterministic component of axial loading, are obtained. Calculations are performed for the Gaussian process with a zero mean and variance σ 2 as well as for harmonic process with an amplitude A.
