Variables Used

Buckling Load - (Measured in Newton) - The Buckling Load is the load at which the column starts buckling. The buckling load of a given material depends on the Slenderness ratio, Area of a cross-section, and Modulus of Elasticity.
Coefficient for Column End Conditions - Coefficient for Column End Conditions is defined as the multiplicative factor for different column end conditions.
Modulus of Elasticity - (Measured in Megapascal) - The Modulus of Elasticity is the measure of the stiffness of a material. It is the slope of stress and strain diagram up to the limit of proportionality.
Column Cross-Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Millimeter) - Column Cross-Sectional Area is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional object is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Effective Length of Column - (Measured in Millimeter) - The Effective Length of Column can be defined as the length of an equivalent pin-ended column having the same load-carrying capacity as the member under consideration.
Radius of Gyration of Column - (Measured in Millimeter) - The Radius of Gyration of Column about the axis of rotation is defined as the radial distance to a point which would have a moment of inertia the same as the body's actual distribution of mass.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient for Column End Conditions: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Modulus of Elasticity: 50 Megapascal --> 50 Megapascal No Conversion Required
Column Cross-Sectional Area: 700 Square Millimeter --> 700 Square Millimeter No Conversion Required
Effective Length of Column: 3000 Millimeter --> 3000 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Radius of Gyration of Column: 26 Millimeter --> 26 Millimeter No Conversion Required

Column End Conditions

In this formula, the coefficient n accounts for end conditions. When the column
is pivoted at both ends, n = 1; when one end is fixed and the other end is rounded, n = 2; when both ends are fixed, n = 4; and when one end is fixed and the other is free, n = 0.25. The slenderness ratio separating long columns from short columns depends on the modulus of elasticity and the yield strength of the column material.
