Maximum Load on Axially Loaded Members Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Axial Load = 0.85*Gross Cross-Sectional Area*Critical Buckling Stress
P_u = 0.85*A_g*F_cr
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Axial Load - (Measured in Newton) - Maximum Axial Load is the load acting through the longitudinal axis of the section.
Gross Cross-Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Gross Cross-Sectional Area is the total area of the cross-section of a structural member, such as a beam or column, measured in a plane perpendicular to the member's longitudinal axis.
Critical Buckling Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Critical Buckling Stress is the maximum stress that can be taken by the section without failure. Any stress surpassing the critical stress makes the section, say, column to failure.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Gross Cross-Sectional Area: 3600 Square Millimeter --> 0.0036 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Critical Buckling Stress: 97 Megapascal --> 97000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_u = 0.85*A_g*F_cr --> 0.85*0.0036*97000000

Evaluating ... ...

P_u = 296820

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

296820 Newton -->296.82 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

296.82 Kilonewton <-- Maximum Axial Load

What is Buckling Stress?

The Elastic Buckling Stress is the highest value of the compressive stress in the plane of the initially flat plate, in which a nonzero out-of-plane deflection of the middle portion of the plate can exist.

How to Calculate Maximum Load on Axially Loaded Members?

Maximum Load on Axially Loaded Members calculator uses Maximum Axial Load = 0.85*Gross Cross-Sectional Area*Critical Buckling Stress to calculate the Maximum Axial Load, The Maximum Load on Axially Loaded Members formula is defined as the greatest amount of axial force that a structural member (such as a column or strut) can safely carry without experiencing failure. The maximum load is determined based on the member's material properties, cross-sectional area, length, and boundary conditions, ensuring that the member does not exceed its yield strength or buckling capacity. Maximum Axial Load is denoted by P_u symbol.
