b) Derive the crippling load for buckling of bars with distributed axial load.

3. a) Derive the crippling load for buckling of bar with effect of shear force on critical
load.
b) Derive the crippling load for buckling of bar with the effect of initial curvature.

4. a) Explain the evolution of reduced modulous and Tangent modulous theories.

b) Derive the reduced modulous for an I-section.

5. Derive the crippling load for a any bar with changes in cross section.

6. Derive the expression for warping (ω) , axial strain and normal stress for the case of
non- uniform torsion of thin-walled bars of open cross-section.
