Abstract:Columnar buckling is a ubiquitous phenomenon that occurs in both living things and man-made objects, regardless of the length scale ranging from macroscopic to nanometric structures. In general, analyzing the post-buckling behavior of a column requires the application of complex mathematical methods because it involves nonlinear problem solving. To complement these complex methods, this study presents simple analytical formulas for the large deflection of a heavy elastic column under combined loads. The analyt… Show more
