Length of Column for Strut subjected to Compressive Axial and Uniformly Distributed Load Formula Elements

Variables
Column Length
Column Length is the distance between two points where a column gets its fixity of support so its movement is restrained in all directions.
Symbol: lcolumn
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Distance of Deflection from End A
Distance of Deflection from End A is the distance at which the deflection occurs in a beam or column, measured from one end of the beam, designated as End A.
Symbol: x
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Bending Moment in Column
Bending Moment in Column is the reaction induced in a column when an external force or moment is applied to the column, causing it to bend.
Symbol: Mb
Measurement: Moment of ForceUnit: N*m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Axial Thrust
Axial Thrust is the force exerted along the axis of a shaft in mechanical systems. It occurs when there is an imbalance of forces that acts in the direction parallel to the axis of rotation.
Symbol: Paxial
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Deflection at Section of Column
Deflection at Section of Column is the lateral displacement at the section of the column.
Symbol: δ
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Load Intensity
Load Intensity is the distribution of load over a certain area or length of a structural element.
Symbol: qf
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
