The Stability and Free Vibrations of A Column Subjected To A Conservative Load Generated By A Head With A Parabolic Contour

The boundary value problem concerning the free vibrations of a slender system subjected to a specific load has been formulated and solved in this work. Heads with parabolic contour have been used to realize the specific load for the first time. The boundary value problem has been formulated using Hamilton's principle. The critical load and the characteristic curves in the plane load–natural frequency have been determined on the basis of the kinetic criterion of stability. Numerical calculations have been assigned to different values of the parameters of the considered system for which the parabolic parameter and the parameter of the roller radius are ranked. The roller is the head of the receiving load. The accuracy of the mathematical model was confirmed on the basis of experimental research based on frequency and modal analysis.
