What is Inelastic Buckling?

In between, for a column with intermediate length, buckling occurs after the stress in the column exceeds the proportional limit of the column material and before the stress reaches the ultimate strength. This kind of situation is called inelastic buckling. Elastic buckling occurs before yielding of material of which the member is made. And in case if the material of the member yields first followed by buckling in the inelastic zone , it is called plastic buckling.
