Euler's Theory of Columns plays a significant role while preparing for GATE ME 2021
Exam. Below we have given comprehensive Euler's Theory of Columns Study Notes for
Mechanical Engineering. Let's take a look and understand the Theory deeply.

Columns and Struts:
A structural member subjected to an axial compressive force is called a strut. As per

definition strut may be horizontal, inclined, or even vertical.
The vertical strut is called a column.
Euler’s Column Theory
Assumptions of Euler's theory:
Euler's theory is based on the following assumptions:

(i). Axis of the column is perfectly straight when unloaded.
(ii). The line of thrust coincides exactly with the unstrained axis of the column.
(iii). Flexural rigidity El is uniform.
(iv) Material is isotropic and homogeneous.
Limitation of Euler’s Formula

There is always crookedness in the column and the load may not be exactly axial.

This formula does not take into account the axial stress and the buckling load is
given by this formula may be much more than the actual buckling load.

Euler’s Buckling (or crippling load)
The maximum load at which the column tends to have lateral displacement or tends
to buckle is known as buckling or crippling load. Load columns can be analyzed
with the Euler’s column formulas can be given as

where, E = Modulus of elasticity, Le= Effective Length of the column, and I = Moment of
inertia of column section.

For both end fixed:
in case of Column with both end Fixed Le = L/2
For one end fixed and other hinged:
in case of Column with one end fixed and other hinged Le = L/√2

Slenderness Ratio ( S)

The slenderness ratio of a compression member is defined as the ratio of its effective
length to least radius of gyration.
Modes of failure of Columns
Rankine’s Formula:
Rankine proposed an empirical formula for columns that coven all Lasts ranging from
very short to very long struts. He proposed the relation
Pc = σC. A = ultimate load for a strut
Eulerian crippling load for the standard case
