Axial buckling load

A polypropylene bar with a square section (10 mm x 10 mm) is 225 mm long. It is pinned at both ends and an axial compressive load of 140 N is applied. How long would it be before buckling would occur. The relationship between the buckling load, Fc, and the bar geometry is... 

For a curved plate subjected to an axial compressive load the critical buckling stress oc is given by (see Timoshenko, 1936) ... 

In addition, the hoop stresses resulting from external pressure reduce the ability of the cylinder to resist the overall axial load, lire uniform circumferential compressive forces from external pressure aid in the buckling process. The critical load is higher for a cylinder subjected to an axial load alone than for a cylinder subjected to the same overall load but a portion of which is a result of external pressure. This is because of the circumferential component of the external pressure. By the same token, internal pre.ssure aids in a cylinder s ability to resist compressive axial loading, for the same reasons. The longitudinal stress induced by the internal pressure is in the opposite direction of weight and any axial compressive loads.

The lateral bending stifihess ofthe plate girder bridge is quite small in comparison to the axial stiffness (1 x EA = 3.255 GNm ) or the Euler buckling load of each span. So when the piers try to rotate about their cross-sectional axis, the superstructure i.e. bridge deck offers least resistance. 

Please note that the above two equations are revised in AASHTO 2012 edition.) where is stiffness reduction factor 0.75 for concrete, 1.0 for steel and aluminum members is factored axial load and P is Euler buckling load that is determined as follows ... 

The peaking factors are mostly due to radial flux distortions, since the axial buckling should be kept constant by means of the control system. Off-load refuelling is characterized by lower peaking factors due to the considerably larger number of channels in which fuel slugs are replaced. 

Eccentricity is the distance between the centerlines of cylindrical component and axial compressive load. Internal buckling resistance is obtained if ... 

To verify the reactor model and computational methods, the cross section library was prepared for TRR-l/Ml at 1 MW operation The calculated reactivity of the beginning of each core loading was compared to the measured reactivity The effective axial buckling was... 

Compressive loading introduces the possibility of another mode of failure— buckling. It is not sufficient to say that an axial member under compression or a shell type configuration under external pressure can merely buckle, but one must say that it will buckle at some critical time, if the material is viscoelastic Uke a polymer. If the instantaneous Euler elastic buckling load for a colunm is... 

The interaetions between the tensile yams and the cable jaeket ean be understood in the following manner. The tensile yams were essentially disposed parallel to the cable central axis. The hot exfrudate was formed about these yams at the die exit. As tlie exfrudate was drawn down and cooled, it eventually contacted the central core, and tensile yams were coupled to the jacket at that point. As the jacket continued to cool and shrink, it exerted an axially compressive load, which caused the tensile yams to buckle. However, the yams in the cable did not all buckle equally. The yams adjacent to the jacket buckled the most because they are highly coupled to the jacket, and the yams adjacent to the buffer tube buckled the least. The yams remained... 

As an example of the contrast between analysis and design, consider the column buckling problem. To analyze the buckling resistance of a simply supported, axially loaded column, we use the Euler-Bernoulli equation,... 

Due to the complex mixed-mode nature of composite delamination, no closed form solutions have been developed yet to express the influence of governing parameters that control the edge delamination behavior. Under tensile loading, delamination is normally preceded by a number of transverse cracks, particularly in the 90° plies. Because of the presence of these cracks, the location of delamination is not unique as in the case of compressive loading, which invariably results in gross buckling of the laminate. The path of delamination along the axial direction varies... 

Thin-walled cylindrical vessels imder axial loads can fail in two manners by column action as in the case of Euler s buckling or by wrinkling between tray supports. The stiffness provided by the internal structures of columns containing trays, tray supports, downcomers, etc., provide additional rigidity. As a result, Euler s buckling, which is produced by bending of the shell as a whole, is seldom a controlling factor in tall vertical vessels.
