An analysis for imperfect sensitivity of a superconducting rod

On the basis of the interaction between the electromagnetic field and a solid, the imperfect sensitivity of a superconducting rod is studied in this paper. The influences of the initial deflection of the rod and the initial magnetic field on the stability are discussed. One can see that the bifurcation response of the rod with imperfections is similar to the universal unfolding of the fork bifurcation from the singularity theory.Project supported by the Foundation of the State Education Commission of China and the Natural Science Foundation of Gansu Province.
