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.
Area Moment of Inertia
The Area Moment of Inertia is a property of a two-dimensional plane shape which characterizes its deflection under loading. It is also known as the second moment of area or second moment of inertia.
Symbol: I
