Beam Buckling Factor 2 Formula Elements

Variables
Beam Buckling Factor 2
Beam Buckling Factor 2 is the value used as factor of safety against buckling by applied loads.
Symbol: X2
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Warping Constant
Warping Constant is a measure of the resistance of a thin-walled open cross-section to warping. Warping refers to the out-of-plane deformation of the cross-section that occurs during torsion.
Symbol: Cw
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Y Axis Moment of Inertia
Y Axis Moment of Inertia is a geometric property of a cross-section that measures its resistance to bending about the y-axis, also known as the second moment of area about the y-axis.
Symbol: Iy
Measurement: Moment of Inertia per Unit LengthUnit: mm⁴/mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Section Modulus about Major Axis
Section Modulus about Major Axis is the ratio between second moment of area to distance from neutral axis to extreme fiber about the major axis.
Symbol: Sx
Measurement: VolumeUnit: mm³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Shear Modulus
Shear Modulus is the slope of the linear elastic region of the shear stress–strain curve.
Symbol: G
Measurement: PressureUnit: GPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Torsional Constant
Torsional Constant is a geometrical property of a bar's cross-section which is involved in the relationship between the angle of twist and applied torque along the axis of the bar.
Symbol: J
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

How to Evaluate Beam Buckling Factor 2?

Beam Buckling Factor 2 evaluator uses Beam Buckling Factor 2 = ((4*Warping Constant)/Y Axis Moment of Inertia)*((Section Modulus about Major Axis)/(Shear Modulus*Torsional Constant))^2 to evaluate the Beam Buckling Factor 2, The Beam Buckling Factor 2 formula is defined as the safety factor value against buckling failure due to load acting on the member. The lateral-torsional buckling factor that affects the critical moment of a steel beam subjected to bending. Lateral-torsional buckling is a mode of failure where the beam undergoes lateral displacement and twisting due to the applied load. Beam Buckling Factor 2 is denoted by X2 symbol.
