This paper provides an historical account of Leipholz's research into elastic stability. Emphasis is placed on divergence and flutter instability of follower force systems, the derivation of lower bounds for the critical load for divergence, and estimates for critical loads for flutter. Key words: elastic stability, divergence, flutter, lower bounds, nonconservative systems, symmetrisable matrix.

For nonconservative systems, which we call systems with follower loads, a study is proposed concerning the differential operators which lead to a self-adjoint problem for a generalization of the Rayleigh quotient.In the case of punctual loads, we give the general expression for the identification of these operators. For some systems under follower loads, a new method is developed for the identification of the eigenvalues (critical load and critical frequency) when these operators do not exist. A numerical comparison is presented when the exact solutions do exist. PACS Nos. : 02.00 et 03.00

Using Galerkin’s method it is shown that in the domain of divergence, the nonconservative system of the follower-load type is always more stable than the corresponding conservative system. Hence, for nonconservative systems of the divergence type, the critical load of the corresponding conservative system becomes a lower bound for the buckling load, and the energy criterion remains sufficient for predicting stability. Moreover, it is proven that even for more general nonconservative systems, the energy criterion is sufficient under certain restrictions.
