Extract

The Evaluation of buckling loads of columns presents a difficult problem whose rigorous solution may be very difficult particularly when the variation of moment of inertia or the axial load does not follow a simple law. Hence approximate methods such as the variational and numerical methods will have to be employed. An approximate method is suggested in this note which offers a convenient method for the calculation of buckling loads of bars with any type of end conditions.
