Localization in Bernoulli-Euler beam on inhomogeneous elastic foundation
Abstract
The study concerns localization phenomenon in continuous structures of finite and infinite length. For a compressed infinite Bernoulli-Euler beam on a inhomogeneous elastic foundation it is shown that the existence of localization modes is due to a point spectrum of the corresponding boundary value problem. Similarity between buckling of the compressed beam and the localized modes of oscillations is analyzed. Dependence of localized point frequencies on the compressive load is shown. Setting the fundamental frequency to zero, one defines the localized buckling mode and the critical load, whose value is the same as that found in the static problem. Refs 9. Figs 8.Keywords:
