Reversible dynamical systems: Dissipation-induced destabilization and follower forces. (English) Zbl 0822.93038

Summary: This paper uses results from the theory of reversible dynamical systems to examine the nonlinear stability of undamped follower force systems. The dissipation-induced destabilization found in these systems is also examined and it is indicated how the postdestabilization dynamics can be determined using normal forms and an eigenvalue splitting criterion.
