Step 1
The buckling load is the critical load at which a slender column will suddenly become unstable and bend significantly under axial compression. This phenomenon is described by Euler's buckling formula. Show more…

Euler's buckling formula can be expressed as Pcr = π^2EI/(KL)^2, where Pcr is the critical buckling load, E is the column's Young's modulus, I is the column's moment of inertia, and L is the column's length. Derived using a quantity called effective length, the constant K depends upon the column's end conditions. This problem will compare various end conditions of a slender column under compression. The studied column has a length of L = 2 meters, and its square cross-section has a side length of b = 7 centimeters. The material is a grade of steel with E = 200 GPa and σy = 500 MPa. What is the column's critical buckling load in meganewtons (MN)? The column's critical buckling load is MN.
Consider the column shown. Assume that the overall height of the column is L=144" and the bracing is at mid-height. Use modulus of elasticity, E=29,000,000 psi. (a) If the narrow dimension b=1" and the deep dimension d=6", what is the load that causes buckling? What is the critical buckling stress? (b) Repeat (a) for a column with an identical area with dimensions b=2.18" and d=2.75".
