Abstract

Based on the theory of Bernoulli-Euler beam, the differential equation of a restrained cantilever column with a tip mass subjected to a subtangential follower force is constructed, the solution of the differential equation is found, and the existence of regions of divergence instability of the system is discussed. The influence of the follower force parameter η, the tip mass parameter β and an end elastic end support on the divergence instability of the column is investigated. Several numerical computations of some cases have completed.
