Abstract |
|
The stability and nonplanar buckling problem of current-carrying microwires in the presence of longitudinal magnetic field are investigated by accounting for the nonlinearities resulted from the axial elongation of the microwire’s centerline. Based on the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, modified couple stress theory, and Hamilton’s principle, the nonlinear governing equations of the nonplanar motions of the microwire are derived. By application of Galerkin’s approach, the nonplanar dynamic responses are evaluated for both clamped-clamped and pinned-pinned boundary conditions. The effects of dimensionless material length scale parameter, compressive load, magnetic field force, and slenderness ratio on the nonplanar buckling instability and the postbuckling configuration are discussed in detail. The obtained results show that the nonplanar buckling instability of microwires occurs when the magnetic field force becomes sufficiently large and the postbuckling configuration depends on the magnitude of magnetic field force, slenderness ratio, and initial conditions. The material length scale parameter can stabilize the microwire. Moreover, the stability boundaries for the magnetic field parameter and compressive load are analyzed, showing that an expected critical value of magnetic field parameter may be achieved by choosing a suitable compressive load as a trigger of automatic devices. Interestingly, it is found that the presence of an axial compressive load has no effect on the postbuckling shape, although it can destabilize the microwire system and amplify the postbuckling amplitude. |
