The stable configuration of elastic rod model under perturbation is researched by using the singularity theory. We consider the reduced Kirchhoff equations of the noncircular cross section elastic rod characterized by the inequality of the bending rigidities. For the possible buckling configurations belong to the minima along the elastic energy curve, it is analogue to the research of static bifurcation of the equilibrium and described as a 2-codimension unfolding. From that we realize the emergency of buckling configuration under perturbation is strongly connected with the correlations between different governing parameters. These correlations can be analytically detected with the variation in the transition set and bifurcation diagrams from the singularity theory. We also find the criterion of the localized buckling process. The process, following the buckling configuration, connects with the homoclinicity in the physical parameter regions and has been verified with numerical simulation in this article.
Keywords:elastic rod; static bifurcation; homoclinic bifurcation
