Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Modulus of Elasticity of Column
Modulus of Elasticity of Column is a quantity that measures an object or substance's resistance to being deformed elastically when stress is applied to it.
Symbol: εcolumn
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Moment of Inertia
Moment of Inertia is a physical quantity that describes how mass is distributed in relation to an axis of rotation.
Symbol: I
Measurement: Moment of InertiaUnit: kg·m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Length of Column
Length of Column is the distance between two points where a column gets its fixity of support so its movement is restrained in all directions.

How to Evaluate Euler Load?

Euler Load evaluator uses Euler Load = ((pi^2)*Modulus of Elasticity of Column*Moment of Inertia)/(Length of Column^2) to evaluate the Euler Load, The Euler Load formula is defined as the maximum load that a long, slender, ideal column can carry without buckling, taking into account the initial curvature of the column, and is a critical concept in structural engineering and architecture. Euler Load is denoted by PE symbol.

How to evaluate Euler Load using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Euler Load, enter Modulus of Elasticity of Column column), Moment of Inertia (I) & Length of Column (l) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Euler Load

What is the formula to find Euler Load?
The formula of Euler Load is expressed as Euler Load = ((pi^2)*Modulus of Elasticity of Column*Moment of Inertia)/(Length of Column^2). Here is an example- 4.7E+6 = ((pi^2)*9006*1.125)/(5^2).
