Erratum: “Stability of Nonprismatic Cantilever Columns Under Tangential Loading” (Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1971, 38, pp. 269–271)

Abstract

Hore recent work has demonstrated that the lowest critical load for the columns considered in our Brief Note occurs with a distorted shape as shown in Fig. 1 (b), not as shown in Fig. 1 (a)

Dynamic Stability Problem of a Non-Prismatic Rod

“…Massey and Van der Meen [11] studied the stability of a non-prismatic cantilever under an applied follower force. Sankaren and Venkateswara Rao [12] determined the critical follower load values for taper columns with rigidly and elastically "xed ends.…”
