Buckling of Columns – Euler Theory for Elastic Buckling BUCKLING – Loss of stability –Axial loads cause lateral deformations (bending-like deformations) Buckling of Columns is a form of deformation as a result of axial- compression forces. This leads to bending of the column, due to the instability of the column. This mode of failure is … Read more
