Integrability, localisation and bifurcation of an elastic conducting rod in a uniform magnetic field

The classical problem of the buckling of an elastic rod in a magnetic ¯eld is investigated using modern techniques from dynamical systems theory. The Kirchhoff equations, which describe the static equilibrium equations of a geometrically exact rod under end tension and moment are extended by incorpo...
