បន្ទុកអឺលែ Euler's Critical Load

Updated: Jul 2, 2020

As shown in figure 1, suppose a column is under a concentric axial load (compressive load). When the load becomes bigger and bigger, deflection and strain of column also get bigger and bigger. Because of its flexural rigidity, column can bear the load to some extent, but when the load reaches a certain value, column deforms remarkably and almost lose its flexural rigidity. At this point, no more resistance can be expected from the material, which means, failure will occur immediately. This phenomenon is called buckling of material, and the maximum load that column can bear before failure is called buckling load.

In 1757, a Swiss mathematician, Leonhard Euler studied buckling phenomenon and successfully derived buckling load of material. Since then, buckling load is famously known as Euler’s load or Euler’s critical load.

Following is a sample mathematical derivation of Euler’s critical load.

Consider a pin-ended column under the effect of buckling load.

Assumptions:

①. Load P is applied slowly to both ends of column.

②. Suppose a cartesian coordinate (Axy) as shown in figure 2 where x axis matches center of gravity(centroid) of column, y(x) is the deflection of column at distance x

③. At point C(x,y), suppose that buckling occurs.

Since there are no reactions on the hinged end, then there is no shear force at any cross section of the material. Forces acting on the column are only moments as shown on the right side of the figure.


Equilibrium condition of free body by using Newton’s First Law

Euler-Bernoulli beam theory (or Elastic curve equation)

Then equation (1) can be written as

Equation (4) is a homogeneous second-order ordinary differential equation.

Then general solution of equation (4) is

As shown in figure 2 boundary conditions are:

Thus equation (5) can be now be written as

Trivial solution of equation (6) is c1 = c2 = 0 . Then y(x) = 0 , which means there is no effect of buckling load and column stays straight. Therefore, buckling load cannot be derived (nonbuckled state) in this case. Either c1 or c2 must be a real number that not equal to zero. To get this result, determinant of coefficient matrix must equal to zero. This condition is called buckling condition and is written as the following equation (7).

Then equation (3) becomes

This Pn is called buckling loads.

Substitute λl=nπ into equation (6)

Then equation (5) becomes

This is called buckling modes of column.Therefore, depending upon the value of n, different buckling modes and buckling loads are produced as shown in figure 3 below. The load mode for n = 0 is the nonbuckled mode.Theoretically, any buckling mode is possible, but in the case of a slowly applied load, only the first mode is likely to be produced. Therefore, Euler’s critical load Pcr is defined by

And buckling shape is defined by

where :

E : Young’s modulus of material

I : Moment of inertia of material

l : Length of material

yo : Maximum deflection of material caused by buckling
