The lateral response of a slightly curved viscoelastic column subjected to a periodic axial load P0 + P1 cos ωt is investigated. The analysis makes use of the complex modulus representation for linear viscoelastic materials. It is shown that the lateral vibrations stemming from imperfections can be of significant amplitude. Experimentally determined amplitude-frequency curves for a polymethyl methacrylate (Plexiglas) column are presented, and are found to be in excellent agreement with the theory. It is shown that there is an analogy between the dynamic instability and the static buckling of imperfect columns.

This paper analyses the motion of a linear viscoelastic column using the dynamic approach. The viscoelastic material is mathematically represented by the four-element model. Using this model as a recursion equation, the elastic, one-, two-, three- and four-element models are solved and their results compared. The stability analyses of these systems are investigated by studying the eigenvalues of the characteristic equations for the solution to the boundary value problems. The stability analyses determined the smallest value of the follower load beyond which the system, under a suitable disturbance, will perform oscillations with increasing amplitudes. The dynamic instability is found to occur in the form of flutter. The effect of damping on the critical follower load is also examined. Three damping parameters are considered that affect the results. They are the damping coefficients related to a Maxwell unit, to a Kelvin unit and one appropriate to a combination of the two. The destabilization effects of viscosity are discussed.

Use of modified atmosphere (MA) as an adjunct to low temperature can be effective method for prolonging the shelflife of fresh fruits and vegetables. However, if storage temperature fluctuates, anoxic conditions can result and, consequently, the fresh produce quality can deteriorate rapidly. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of temperature fluctuation on the atmosphere inside the package and on the quality of packaged produce. Mushrooms (A. bisporus, U3 Sylvan 381) were packaged in rigid containers (4 liters) fitted with diffusion windows to obtain an atmosphere of 5% O2 and 10% CO2 at 4C. Temperature fluctuation had a major impact to the atmosphere inside package. During the first fluctuation sequence, O2 level depleted to 1.5% and CO2 increased to 18%. When the temperature returned to 4C during the next sequence, CO2 level fell back to 10%, but O2 level remained at 1.5%. The quality of mushrooms stored under temperature-fluctuating conditions was severely affected, as indicted by the extent of browning, loss of texture, and level of ethanol in the tissue compared to mushrooms stored at constant temperature. It was clear from this experiment that under temperature fluctuation, even it occurs once, can seriously compromise the benefits of MA packaging and safety of the packaged product. It is thus necessary that MA packaging compensate for the additional permeability required that is caused by storage temperature fluctuations.
