1.1 Determine the magnitude of the criticaI load for the axially loaded column At its lower end the column is completely fixed. At the upper end the column is
shown in Fig. Pl-1. The column is hinged at both ends and prevented from prevented from rotating, but free to translate laterally. (Per = n 2 EI/LZ)
1.3 Find the criticalload of the one-degree-of-freedom model of a column shown
p in Fig. Pl-3. The model consists of two rigid bars pin connected to each other
lp
