Enter the length, elastic modulus, and moment of inertia to determine the buckling load using the calculator.
Buckling Load Calculation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the buckling load:
Buckling Load = (π^2 * E * I) / (L^2)
Variables:
- Buckling Load is the critical load at which buckling occurs (N)
- E is the Elastic Modulus of the material (GPa)
- I is the Moment of Inertia of the cross-section (cm^4)
- L is the Length of the column (m)
To calculate the buckling load, plug the values for E, I, and L into the formula and compute the result.
What is Buckling Load Calculation?
Buckling load calculation refers to the process of determining the critical load at which a structural element will fail due to buckling. Buckling is a failure mode characterized by a sudden sideways deflection of a structural member subjected to high compressive stress. Accurate buckling load calculation is essential for ensuring the safety and stability of structures.
