Strength Of Materials

  1. A pin-ended column of length L, modulus of elasticity E and second moment of the crosssectional area I is loaded concentrically by a compressive load P. The critical buckling load (Pcr) is given by
    1. Pcr =
      EI
      πL2

    2. Pcr =
      π2EI
      3L2

    3. Pcr =
      πEI
      L2

    4. Pcr =
      π2EI
      L2

Correct Option: D

The critical buckling load (Pcr) for a column having length L, modulus of elasticity E and second moment of cross sectional area I is loaded centrically. Condition: Both ends are having pin joint. i.e., hinged
so n = 1

∴ Pcr = n
π2EI
=
π2EI
