 Euler's Theory of Columns

Euler's Theory of Columns States that:

Euler's theory of columns relates the buckling strength of a column to different
types of column supports. According to Euler's theory of column, failure of a
column occurs either due to the buckling load or due to the buckling criteria.
Euler's theory of columns is a very important concept for the designing of the
column type member and also for the designing of the struts. This theorem is used
to calculate the critical buckling load on the column.
 Euler’s Formula

For Both End Hinged:

In the case of Column hinged at both ends, Le= L
PE = π2EI/L2
where
PE = allowable load
E = Modulus of elastisity(Pa (N/m2))

L = length of column (in, m)

I =Moment of inertia(in4, m4)
For One End Fixed and the Other
Free:
In the case of column, one end is
fixed and the other free: Le= 2L
PE = π2EI/4L2
For Both Ends fixed
In the case of a Column with
both ends,
Fixed Le= L/2
PE = 4π2EI/4L2
For One End Fixed and the
Other Hinged:
In the case of a Column with
one end fixed and the other
hinged, Le= L/√2
PE = 2π2EI/4L2
