Buckling Load
The Buckling Load is the load at which the column starts buckling. The buckling load of a given material depends on the Slenderness ratio, Area of a cross-section, and Modulus of Elasticity.
Symbol: PBuckling Load
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Coefficient for Column End Conditions
Coefficient for Column End Conditions is defined as the multiplicative factor for different column end conditions.
Symbol: n
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modulus of Elasticity
The Modulus of Elasticity is the measure of the stiffness of a material. It is the slope of stress and strain diagram up to the limit of proportionality.
Symbol: E
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Column Cross-Sectional Area
Column Cross-Sectional Area is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional object is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Symbol: A
Measurement: AreaUnit: mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Effective Length of Column
The Effective Length of Column can be defined as the length of an equivalent pin-ended column having the same load-carrying capacity as the member under consideration.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Radius of Gyration of Column
The Radius of Gyration of Column about the axis of rotation is defined as the radial distance to a point which would have a moment of inertia the same as the body's actual distribution of mass.
Symbol: rgyration
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
