Nano and viscoelastic Beck’s column on elastic foundation ∗ † ‡ Teodor M. Atanackovic, Yanni Bouras, Dusan Zorica August 13, 2014 4 1 0 2 Abstract g Beck’s type column on Winkler type foundation is the subject of the present analysis. u Instead of the Bernoulli-Euler model describing the rod, two generalized models will be A adopted: Eringen non-local model corresponding to nano-rods and viscoelastic model of fractional Kelvin-Voigt type. The analysis shows that for nano-rod, the Herrmann-Smith 2 1 paradox holds while for viscoelastic rod it does not. Key words: Beck’s type column on Winkler foundation, Herrmann-Smith paradox, ] Ziegler paradox, Eringen non-local model, fractional Kelvin-Voigt model h p s- 1 Introduction s a A cantilevered Bernoulli-Euler column subject to a follower force of constant intensity at the free l c end, known as Beck’s column, represents a benchmark example of column stability analysis for . s nonconservative loading, see [2, 9, 13]. Herrmann and Smith analyzed the problem of dynamic c stability for Beck’s column when positioned on Winkler foundation, see [27]. The critical load i s causing dynamic instability (flutter) is found to be independent of the foundation properties. y h This phenomenon is known as the Herrmann-Smith paradox. This paradox is aimed to be p resolved in the present analysis by adopting non-local and viscoelastic consti
