Question

A straight steel rod 350 mm long and of 6 mm diameter is loaded axially in compression until it buckles. Assuming that the ends are pin jointed, find the critical load using the Euler formula. Also calculate the maximum central deflection when the material reaches its yield stress. [Ans. 1.03 kN, 6.4 mm]

Step 1

Since the rod has a circular cross-section, we can use the formula for the moment of inertia of a circle: I = (π * d^4) / 64 where d is the diameter of the rod. I = (π * (6 * 10^-3)^4) / 64 I ≈ 6.54 * 10^-12 m^4 Show more…
