Abstract: | This paper is devoted to the analysis of the nonlinear stability of a clamped rod carrying electric current in the magnetic field which is produced by the current flowing in a pair of inifinitely long parallel rigid wires. The natural state of the rod is in the plane of the wires and is equidistant from them. Firstly under the assumption of spatial deformation, the governing equations of the problem are derived, and the linearized problem and critical currents are discussed. Secondly, it is proved that the buckled states of the rod are always in planes. Finally, the global responses of the bifurcation problem of the rod are computed numerically and the distributions of the deflections, axial forces and bending moments are obtained. The results show that the buckled states of the rod may be either supercritical or subcritical, depending on the distancz between the rod and the wires. Furthermore, it is found that there exists a limit point on the branch solution of the supercritical buckled state. This is distinctively different from the buckled state of the elastic compressive rods.Project supported by the Foundation of the Natural Science of China and Gansu Province |
