Abstract
A theoretical model for viscoelastic beams with variable section is derived using the principle of virtual work; a linearization is then obtained and stationary solutions are numerically studied. This allows a brief study of their stability and an interpretation in terms of damping. In particular an interesting feature of the limit speed is shown. (C) Elsevier, Paris.
