Euler column buckling predicts critical load at which slender columns fail by instability rather than material crushing. It's essential for structural safety.

Решённые примеры
Ввод
E = 200 GPa, I = 2×10⁹ mm⁴, L = 4 m, K = 1 (pinned)
Результат
P_cr ≈ 2.47 MN (critical load)
Higher leads to buckling

Часто задаваемые вопросы
Why do long columns fail at lower loads?
Buckling instability dominates; longer unsupported length reduces critical load dramatically (proportional to 1/L²).
What is effective length factor K?
K accounts for end conditions: K=0.5 (fixed-fixed), K=1 (pinned-pinned), K=2 (cantilever).
