Chapter 9

This document is from Vikas Chaudhari of BITS Pilani K K Birla Goa Campus about mechanics of solids and stability of equilibrium regarding buckling. It discusses Euler's formula for calculating the buckling or crippling load of a column based on its modulus of elasticity, moment of inertia, and equivalent length which depends on its end conditions. It provides examples of calculating crippling load and safe load for columns with different end conditions and materials. It also presents sample problems applying Euler's formula and calculating buckling loads.

le

= Equivalent length of column/ strut. Its value depends


on end conditions of the column/ strut.

Stability of Equilibrium: Buckling


Problem:
A strut 2.5 m long is 60 mm in dia. One end of the strut is fixed while
other end is hinged. Find the safe compressive load for the member
using Eulers formula
Take FS = 3.4 and E = 200 GPa

Stability of Equilibrium: Buckling


Problem:
A column of timber section 15 cm x 20 cm is 6 meter long and both
ends are being fixed. If the youngs modulus for timber is 17.5 kN/
mm2, determine
1. Crippling load

2. Safe load for the column if factor of safety (FS) = 3.

Stability of Equilibrium: Buckling


Problem:
A bar 200 mm in dia is 1.5 m long . When the bar is simply supported
at its ends in the horizontal position and loaded with concentrated
transverse load of 370 kN at the center, the deflection at the center
of the beam is found to be 9.5 mm.
If the bar is placed vertically and loaded axially what would be the
buckling load (Both ends pinned / hinged)
Find also the ratio of maximum bending stress to buckling stress.
