Stability analysis of Euler's elastica ring using harmonic balance
Abstract
The stability analysis of elastic rings subjected to various loading conditions is examined, focusing on stable and unstable configurations. The harmonic balance method is employed to investigate the stability range under different loading conditions. This method provides improved accuracy in results and yields a smooth, stable range of values for all modes of symmetry. Additionally, the bifurcation analysis technique of linearization is utilized to identify unstable regions, and it demonstrates good agreement with the results obtained using the harmonic balance method.
