Popis: The dynamic stability of an anisotropic thin-walled beam subjected to harmonically varying axial compression is studied in this paper. The analysis is based on the assumption that the shape of the cross-section of the beam does not change during deformation. The shear of the middle surface of the beam is taken into account. The dynamic equations are reduced to a set of coupled Mathieu equations by using the Galerkin method. Then Hill's infinite-determinant method and a shooting-type numerical method are used to investigate the Mathieu equations to determine the stability regions of the beam in the parameter space. Two examples, one of which is a complete circular tube and the other is a circular tube with a longitudinal seam, are given.
