The continuous beam having elastic intermediate supports, equally spaced and of equal stiffness, is solved for the condition that they behave as rigid supports when the beam buckles under the action of an axial compressive force. The exact solution is given in closed form.
The transfer matrix method is used to investigate the influence of a Winkler elastic foundation on the non-conservative instability of uniform Timoshenko beams. It is found that the critical flutter load for a cantilever Timoshenko beam subjected to an end-concentrated or linearly distributed tangen
