Abstract

AbstractThe bifurcation problem of constrained non‐conservative systems with non symmetric stiffness matrices is investigated. It leads to study the subset Dp,n of ℳ︁n(ℝ) of the so called p‐positive definite matrices (1 ≤ p ≤ n). The main result (D1,n ⊂ Dp,n) is proved, the reciprocal result is investigated and the consequences on the stability of elastic nonconservative systems are highlighted.
