Fig. 2: Column effective length factors for Euler's critical load. In practical design, it is recommended to increase the factors as shown above. The following assumptions are made while deriving Euler's formula: [3] The material of the column is homogeneous and isotropic. The compressive load on the column is axial only.
If a structure is subjected to a gradually increasing load, when the load reaches a critical level, a member may suddenly change shape and the structure and component is said to have buckled. [2] Euler's critical load and Johnson's parabolic formula are used to determine the buckling stress of a column.
Eulers formula for buckling of a slender column gives the critical stress level to cause buckling but doesn't consider material failure modes such as yield which has been shown to lower the critical buckling stress. Johnson's formula interpolates between the yield stress of the column material and the critical stress given by Euler's formula.
Initially created for stability problems in column buckling, the Southwell method has also been used to determine critical loads in frame and plate buckling experiments. The method is particularly useful for field tests of structures that are likely to be damaged by applying loads near the critical load and beyond, such as reinforced concrete ...
Elastic buckling of a "heavy" column i.e., column buckling under its own weight, was first investigated by Greenhill in 1881. [1] He found that a free-standing, vertical column, with density ρ {\displaystyle \rho } , Young's modulus E {\displaystyle E} , and cross-sectional area A {\displaystyle A} , will buckle under its own weight if its ...
The Perry–Robertson formula is a mathematical formula which is able to produce a good approximation of buckling loads in long slender columns or struts, and is the basis for the buckling formulation adopted in EN 1993. The formula in question can be expressed in the following form:
Euler–Bernoulli beam theory can also be extended to the analysis of curved beams, beam buckling, composite beams, and geometrically nonlinear beam deflection. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory does not account for the effects of transverse shear strain. As a result, it underpredicts deflections and overpredicts natural frequencies.
The elastica theory is a theory of mechanics of solid materials developed by Leonhard Euler that allows for very large scale elastic deflections of structures. Euler (1744) and Jakob Bernoulli developed the theory for elastic lines (yielding the solution known as the elastica curve ) and studied buckling.
