Analysis of loop formation on a flexible rod (Q1406396)

The authors discuss the process of loop formation on the flexible rod under certain assumptions [see \textit{M. V. Los'} and \textit{A. E. Ordanovich} [Vestn. Mosk. Univ., Ser. I 1994, No. 5, 48--54 (1994; Zbl 0899.73207)]. Cited are the results of dependence of the rod form on the increase of the torsion moment \(M^0\) from zero to \(M^0_{\text{crit}}\). The domain of the parameters of the ``pre-loop'' state of the rod is established.
