Abstract
Abstract The stability of a current-carrying beam in an external magnetic field is studied in this paper. The beam rests on periodic supports and is modeled as an Euler–Bernoulli elastic beam. Based on the linearized stability equation and propagator transfer matrix approach for a multi-span finite-length beam, the stability equation and solutions of the several boundary value problems are obtained. While the Floquet–Bloch theory is widely used in the dynamic problem of phononic and photonic structure conditions, its application to the solution of infinite length beam static stability problem is novel. The stability values of the periodic infinite beam model are in very good agreement with one of the finite-length multi-span beams.
