✦ Synopsis

The present work deals with the parametric instability regions of a cantilever beam with tip mass subjected to timevarying magnetic field and axial force. The nonlinear temporal differential equation of motion having two frequency parametric excitations is solved using second-order method of multiple scales. The closed-form expressions for the parametric instability regions for three different resonance conditions are determined. The influence of magnetic filed, axial load, damping constant and mass ratio on the parametric instability regions are investigated. These results obtained from perturbation analysis are verified by solving the temporal equation of motion using fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The instability regions obtained using this method is found to be in good agreement with the experimental result.
