  2. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    Euler's critical load or Euler's buckling load is the compressive load at which a slender column will suddenly bend or buckle. It is given by the formula: [1] where. P c r {\displaystyle P_ {cr}} , Euler's critical load (longitudinal compression load on column), E {\displaystyle E} , Young's modulus of the column material, I {\displaystyle I ...

  3. Buckling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckling

    This reduced material rigidity reduces the buckling strength of the structure and results in a buckling load less than that predicted by the assumption of linear elastic behavior. A more accurate approximation of the buckling load can be had by the use of the tangent modulus of elasticity, E t , which is less than the elastic modulus, in place ...

  4. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    In the mechanics of materials, the strength of a material is its ability to withstand an applied load without failure or plastic deformation. The field of strength of materials deals with forces and deformations that result from their acting on a material. A load applied to a mechanical member will induce internal forces within the member ...

  5. Johnson's parabolic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson's_parabolic_formula

    The Johnson parabola creates a new region of failure. In structural engineering, Johnson's parabolic formula is an empirically based equation for calculating the critical buckling stress of a column. The formula is based on experimental results by J. B. Johnson from around 1900 as an alternative to Euler's critical load formula under low ...

  6. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    Euler–Bernoulli beam theory (also known as engineer's beam theory or classical beam theory) [1] is a simplification of the linear theory of elasticity which provides a means of calculating the load-carrying and deflection characteristics of beams. It covers the case corresponding to small deflections of a beam that is subjected to lateral ...

  7. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)

    Deformation (engineering) Compressive stress results in deformation which shortens the object but also expands it outwards. In engineering, deformation (the change in size or shape of an object) may be elastic or plastic. If the deformation is negligible, the object is said to be rigid.

  8. Elastic instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_instability

    Elastic instability of a rigid beam supported by an angular spring. Elastic instability is a form of instability occurring in elastic systems, such as buckling of beams and plates subject to large compressive loads. There are a lot of ways to study this kind of instability. One of them is to use the method of incremental deformations based on ...

  9. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

    Specific modulus is a materials property consisting of the elastic modulus per mass density of a material. It is also known as the stiffness to weight ratio or specific stiffness. High specific modulus materials find wide application in aerospace applications where minimum structural weight is required. The dimensional analysis yields units of ...
