Popis: While extensive studies have been conducted on purely elastic ribbons, in this paper we explore the influence of magnetisation on the deformation of planar ferromagnetic elastic ribbons. We begin the investigation by deriving the leading-order magnetic energy associated with a curved planar ferromagnetic elastic ribbon. The sum of the magnetic and the elastic energy is the total energy of the ribbon. We derive the equilibrium equations by taking the first variation of the total energy. We then systematically determine and analyse solutions to these equilibrium equations under various canonical boundary conditions. We also analyse the stability of the equilibrium solutions. Comparing our findings with the well-studied Euler's Elastica provides insights into the magnetic effects on the deformation behaviour of elastic ribbons. Our analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between magnetisation and the mechanical response of planar ferromagnetic structures, and offers valuable insights for both theoretical and practical applications.
