Buckling occur due to vertical load is applied on the component when it is in horizontal position.

What will be the basic difference between buckling and bending?

Skandhamitra said:   1 decade ago
Moment of inertia is tendency of a body to resist angular acceleration. Buckling means A body leading towards a failure mode. Maximum moment of inertia resits this buckling because it is its tendency. So minimum moment of inertia only leads to buckling.

Buckling and bending are similar in that they both involve bending moments. In bending these moments are substantially independent of the resulting deflections, whereas in buckling the moments and deflections are mutually inter-dependent. So moments, deflections and stresses are not proportional to loads.
