Buckling Stress in Bridge and Suspension Cable Formulas

Buckling Stress is the stress developed due to a sudden change in shape of a structural component under load, such as the bowing of a column under compression. And is denoted by F_cr. Buckling Stress is usually measured using the Megapascal for Stress. Note that the value of Buckling Stress is always negative.
